A reactive polymer compatibilizer and compatibilized polymer blends are provided. The reactive polymer compatibilizer is generally a copolymer of a fluoropolymer and a non-fluoropolymer that improves the miscibility of fluoropolymers and non-fluoropolymers. The compatibilized polymer blend contain a fluoropolymer, non-fluoropolymer, and reactive polymer compatibilizer. In some embodiments, the reactive polymer compatibilizer may be tailored to achieve desirable characteristics in the compatibilized polymer blends.

A method of preparing a green tire innerliner, the method comprising mixing one or more vulcanizable rubbery polymers, less than 0.75 parts by weight zinc oxide, less than 0.75 parts by weight magnesium oxide, and less than 0.75 parts by weight sulfur, per 100 parts by weight rubber, to form a vulcanizable mixture and extruding the mixture to form a green tire innerliner.

An anti-vibration rubber of the present invention is an anti-vibration rubber for washing machines. In temperature variance measurement of dynamic viscoelasticity at a frequency of 10 Hz, the anti-vibration rubber has a maximum loss factor at a temperature of 0° C. to 40° C., both inclusive, and has a loss factor of 0.5 or more in the entire temperature range of 0° C. to 40° C., both inclusive, at the frequency of 10 Hz.
