Molecular singularity is a unique concept that is characteristic of polymers ... between the structure of cross-linking junctions and mechanical properties in rubber. Cross-linking junctions ...

The rubber polymer is made of sulfur and canola oil, and it has a unique chemical structure. The rubber doesn’t melt – instead, its sulfur bonds can be broken and reformed by applying pressure ...

This paper introduces the basic concepts related to polymeric materials’ structure and properties ... The long chain polymer, with a high length to diameter ratio, behaves like a soft rubber wherein ...

Throughout its nearly 100-year manufacturing history, the crack resistance of natural rubber—one of the world's most widely ...

The rubber polymer, itself made from sulfur and canola ... The unique chemical structure of the sulfur backbone in the novel rubber allows for multiple pieces of the rubber to bond together.

Rubber is made from the latex (milk of the Evergreen Forest tree). It is an elastomer, a polymer which regains its original shape and possesses high elasticity. It is a tough polymer which has ...
