Thermodynamic stability of cis-isoprene and butadiene rubbers and their blends with various degrees of stereoregularity was studied. The mechanical properties of vulcanizates were examined. The effects of the nature and relative content of elastomers, the method of blending, and the kinetic characteristics of cross-linked structure formation on the stability and mechanical properties of rubber compounds are considered.
