Abstract: Electron Spin Resonance(ESR)measurements on manganese-ionomers of sulfonated butyl rubber(Mn-SIIR)show that polar cosolvents such as alcohols could solvate the ionic groups and then destroy ionic aggregation. The solvation would be weakened and the ionic aggregation increased as temperature increased.These are in agreement with the results from viscosity measurements of ionomer in mixed solvents. But the content of ionicgroups in solution had no significant effect on the degree of ionic aggregation.
