The dynamic viscous characterization of the blend was studied. In general, the modulus of elasticity, G, and complex viscosity, n*, increased as amount of rubber content increased while these parameters decreased as amount of plasticizer, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), increased. The composition containing 35;waste rubber showed the highest value of G. Viscous behaviour of blends containing waste or virgin nitrile rubber was similar ER -
