Networks of ‘flexible’ and ‘rigid’ chains were synthesized. As ‘flexible’ component we have used different partially hydrogenated cis ‐1,4‐polybutadiene. The ‘rigid’ component was synthesized from bis(1,2,4‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione)s and biscyclohexadienes via repetitive Diels‐Alder reaction. A slight excess of bis(1,2,4‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione)s leads to polymers with 1,2,4‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione end groups, which can easily react with the partially hydrogenated cis ‐1,4‐polybutadiene. The influence of the extent of hydrogenation and the amount of crosslinker on the mechanical and thermal behaviour is described.
