A macromolecular antioxidant PM containing thioether and aromatic secondary amine was
synthesized by the thiol-ene click reaction between the antioxidant N-(4-aminophenyl) …

We have obtained detailed, time-dependent modulus profiles on 2· 2-mm thick samples of
Neoprene and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) that were subjected to aging at temperatures …

High strength fibers such as Zylon®, Kevlar®, and Vectran® are characterized by their high
strength to weight ratio. They are used to produce high performance products such as …

Magnetorheological (MR) rubber materials are the solid analogue of magnetorheological
fluids; ie their rheological properties can be controlled continously, rapidly, and reversibly by …

It is well known that the macromolecular structure and the microstructure of the fillers play an
important role in the mechanical properties of filled rubbers. This paper focuses on the …

The chemical changes that occur in thermal degradation of sulfur‐cured natural rubber were
investigated using 13C‐NMR analysis. The crosslinked carbons formed during the …

The dynamic mechanical properties of ENR-50 have been evaluated using various curing
systems for varying periods of ageing. Conventional, conventional with Na 2 CO 3, semi …

Thermooxidative degradation of thick‐walled rubber materials is dependent on oxygen
diffusion. The oxidative degradation ceases due to a lower permeability of oxygen through …

The chemiluminescence (CL) intensity during isothermal oxidation in the surface-layer and
in the core from hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene rubber was measured by an imaging CL …

A chemiluminescence (CL) instrument designed for the imaging of degradation processes is
described and applications in polymer technology are given. The possibility of assessing …
