Abstract
The polymeric ingredient of the inventive rubber composition is an acrylic polymer modified with a mercapto-containing organopolysiloxane as prepared by the emulsion polymerization of an acrylic monomer in an aqueous emulsion of the organopolysiloxane. Characteristically, the acrylic monomer is copolymerized with another monomer having an active halogen atom or an epoxy group. By virtue of this unique formulation of the rubbery polymer, the inventive rubber composition prepared by compounding the rubbery polymer with a reinforcing filler and a specified curing or crosslinking agent can be vulcanized to give a vulcanizate having excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, oil resistance and cold resistance as a combination of the features of silicone rubbers and acrylic rubbers.
