Effect of SILPs on the Vulcanization and Properties of Ethylene–Propylene–Diene Elastomer

Ionic liquids (ILs) are increasingly used in elastomer technology due to unique physico-chemical properties, which are stable at the temperature of preparation and during processing of rubber compounds. The latest IL application concept is supported ionic liquid-phase (SILP) materials, where an IL f...
