Abstract

Electron‐beam initiated crosslinking of a poly(vinyl chloride)/epoxidized natural rubber blend (PVC/ENR), which contained trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), was carried out over a range of irradiation doses (20–200 kGy) and concentrations of TMPTA (1–5 phr). The gelation dose was determined by a method proposed by Charlesby. It was evident from the gelation dose, resilience, hysteresis, glass‐transition temperature (Tg), IR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy studies that the miscible PVC/ENR blend underwent crosslinking by electron‐beam irradiation. The acceleration of crosslinking by the TMPTA was further confirmed in this study. Agreement of the results with a theory relating the Tg with the distance between crosslinks provided further evidence of irradiation‐induced crosslinking. The possible mechanism of crosslinking induced by the irradiation between PVC and ENR is also proposed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 1914–1925, 2001
