Corn. isoprene, butadiene-styrene and ethylene-propylene-diene rubbers were crosslinked with 7 various curing systems and studied for network structure, thermooxidative stability, Shore A hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break and ageing resistance. The rubbers with C-C crosslinks showed better thermostability than those with C-S-C crosslinks. The stability decreased with increasing no. of S atoms in the crosslink and with increasing unsatn. degree of the original rubber.
