Abstract
The green strength of elastomers is improved by the addition of semi-crystalline butene polymers selected from the class consisting of polybutene and interpolymers made from 1-butene monomer and at least one monomer selected from the class consisting of alpha-olefins, non-conjugated dienes, and non-conjugated polyenes. The semi-crystalline butene polymer is mixed with a desired elastomer such as natural or synthetic cis-1,4-polyisopropene, or a synthetic elastomer made from monomers selected from the class consisting of conjugated dienes having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, interpolymers of said dienes among themselves or with vinyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon compounds having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, or polyalkenylenes. The mixing or blending of the butene polymer and the elastomer may be through conventional methods such as cement mixing or mastication.
