Polybutadienes and polyisoprene are modified using 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione. The resulting urazole moieties give rise to the formation of hydrogen bonds. From the temperature dependence of the dilute solution viscosity as well as from GPC it can be deduced that intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds can be used to overcome the demixing tendency in blends of polybutadiene and polyisoprene. DSC measurements indicate enhanced miscibility depending on the degree of modification. |
