Popis: In any study of polymerization, careful consideration must be given to factors such as type and concentration of emulsifying agent, concentration of monomer, temperature, catalyst, and certain added chemicals which may have a marked effect on the results obtained. It is possible to make elastomers of considerable utility from mixtures of butadiene and many other polymerizable compounds. Several of these are superior to those made from butadiene and styrene in particular respects; but considering availability and cost of raw materials, this work has not uncovered any butadiene copolymers which would have been preferred over those made with styrene or acrylonitrile in the period of national emergency. The possibility of obtaining high grade elastomers from the diene hydrocarbons alone appears to justify further investigation.
