Abstract

Blending of two or more elastomers is carried out for several purposes. The properties of an elastomer blend depend strongly on its state of compatibility and miscibility. In this chapter, recent advances on development of interphase modification and compatibilization of rubber-based blends are summarized. Current trends in compatibilization of rubber/rubber blends, TPEs and other rubber/thermoplastic blends, natural polymer blends, rubber-based blends with and without filler modification are discussed in detail. Finally, new challenges and opportunities of rubber-based blends are given.
