Abstract
The telomers containing carboxyl groups on both ends of their chain were prepared by the photo-radical telomerization of styrene and dithiodiglycolic acid. The compounding effect of telomer and epoxy resin for IR, BR, SBR, NBR and EPDM was examined.
The compounding processability of rubbers and the tensile properties of rubber vulcanizates were improved by the addition of these telomers. Rubber vulcanizates having the excellent tensile and adhesion properties were obtained by the use of telomer together with epoxy resin.
