Abstract
Abstract Oil resistant, ozone resistant polymer blends are prepared by blending an Acrylonitrile/Butadiene polymer with an EPDM polymer which has had grafted onto it a polymer prepared by polymerizing onto the backbone a methacrylate monomer. The preferred EPDM graft polymer is a methylmethacrylate grafted onto the EPDM backbone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
An elastomeric vulcanizable composition consisting essentially of: from 50 to 90 parts, by weight, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer elastomer and from 10 to 50 parts by weight, ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene terpolymer elastomer grafted with a monomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate and alkyl methacrylate wherein said alkyl radical in said monomer includes 1-4 carbon atoms; wherein said total elastomeric content of said composition is in the range of 80 and 99.5% by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
An elastomeric vulcanizable composition consisting essentially of: from 50 to 90 parts, by weight, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer elastomer and from 10 to 50 parts by weight, ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene terpolymer elastomer grafted with a monomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate and alkyl methacrylate wherein said alkyl radical in said monomer includes 1-4 carbon atoms; wherein said total elastomeric content of said composition is in the range of 80 and 99.5% by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein said non-conjugated diene is selected from the group consisting of dicyclopentadiene, 2-ethylidene-5-norbornene and 1,4-hexadiene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein said monomer is selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 also consisting of a vulcanizing agent present in sufficient amount to at least partially cure said composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the degree of grafting of said monomer to said ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene terpolymer is in the range of between 0.02 and 0.31.
