The miscible blend was prepared from NR and butadiene rubber (BR) having 32.3% 1,2-units. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behaviour was found for NR/BR blend, even when the blend contained significant amount of gel fractions. In contrast, the immiscible blend was prepared from NR and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The tear energy of the NR/SBR blend was associated with the strain-induced crystallization of natural rubber present in small particles.Read More
