Abstract
Natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber and high styrene resin were used to replace part of nitrile rubber in a 50/50 NBR/PVC (butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber/poly(vinyl chloride) blend. The ternary blend based microcellular soles show improved technical properties while decreasing the cost of the MC soles. About 15 parts of NBR can be replaced by NR, SBR or HSR for cost reduction without much deterioration in properties.
