Abstract

The viscoelastic properties of binary blends of nitrile rubber (NBR) and isotactic polypropylene (PP) are discussed. The Kerner discrete particle and packed-grain models are applied to the prediction of the blend viscoelastic properties and morphological aspects. A solution procedure considering the Poisson ratio as a complex parameter has been deduced for the polyaggregate model. The predictions of the discrete particle model agree well with experimental dynamic data for 70/30 and 50/50 PP/NBR blends with PP as the matrix and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) blend morphology.
