Polymer blends comprising a copolymer (A) which comprises 50 to 98% by weight of units from methyl methacrylate, 2 to 50% by weight of units from an acrylate and/or methacrylate having a halogen-substituted aromatic ring, and 0 to 25% by weight of units from other copolymerizable .alpha.,.beta.-substituted monomer, and an aromatic polycarbonate (B).

Compositions of acrylic rubber and another rubber which can be nitrile rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, fluoroelastomer, silicon rubber, or fluorosilicone rubber are described, in which the acrylic rubber can be uncured or at least partially crosslinked. The compositions are millable and processable and, by the addition of curatives for the nitrile rubber, hydroganted nitrile rubber, fluoroelastomer, siloicone rubber, or fluorosilicone rubber, can be further crosslinked to become vulcanizate...

Blends are disclosed of monoolefin rubber with high-diene hydrocarbon rubber in which the monoolefin rubber is in the form of discrete vulcanized particles dispersed in a matrix of unvulcanized high-diene hydrocarbon rubber. The blends can be easily processed, and in a subsequent step, the high-diene hydrocarbon portion cured to give rubber articles having the ozone resistance of the monoolefin rubber and the good physical properties of the high-diene hydrocarbon rubber.

A polymer blend comprises (A) a fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer and (B) a fluoroelastomer. The fluoroelastomer comprises a block copolymer comprising at least one elastomeric segment comprising tetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride, and hexafluropropylene repeat units in a mole ratio 45-90:5-50:0-35 and at least one nonelastomeric segment comprising tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene repeat units. The weight per cent of copolymer (A) relative to the combined weights of copolymer (A) an...
