The Mullins effect remains a major challenge in order to provide good mechanical modeling
of the complex behavior of industrial rubber materials. It has been forty years since Mullins …

Strain-induced crystallization of natural rubber was discovered in 1925 by the means of x-
ray diffraction and has been widely investigated by this technique until today. The studies …

A homogeneous dispersion of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) in elastomers
is obtained by solution compounding methods, and a high orientation of BNNSs is achieved …

Highlighting a broad range multiscale modeling and methods for anticipating the
morphologies and the properties of interfaces and multiphase materials, this reference …

In Crystallization of Polymers, 2nd Edition, Leo Mandelkern provides a self-contained,
comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of polymer crystallization. Volume 2 of this edition …

In the past, the stress–strain behavior of natural rubber has been studied by a variety of
mechanical analytical techniques in order to understand the role of induced crystallization …

We have studied, by simultaneous force and WAXS measurements, crystallization and
melting properties of stretched natural poly cis-isoprene, vulcanized at different rates, in …

Molecular orientation and strain-induced crystallization of vulcanized natural rubber during
uniaxial deformation were studied via in situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction …

Strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of natural rubber (NR) is characterized during a cyclic
deformation at room temperature and low strain rate (∼ 10–3 s–1) using in situ wide angle X …

Stress-induced crystallization, orientation, and crystallinity have been measured by X-ray
diffraction around cracks in a cis-1, 4-polyisoprene sample drawn at low ratio, λ< 3.5. A zone …
