An attempt to resolve the difficulties normally faced in preparing PVC‐dominant PVC/ENR blends with the Brabender plasticorder is discussed. As expected, it was found that the mechanical properties of PVC/ENR blends are greatly influenced by the mixing parameters, which are further reinforced with evidence from both dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and morphological studies. Both techniques showed the attainment of compatible 50/50/PVC/ENR blends, the former a single glass transition temperature (Tg) and the latter a single‐phase system, albeit their inherent properties are dependent on the blending parameters. By utilizing the correlation between mixing temperature and rotor speed derived, good PVC/ENR blends can be easily procured.
