Polymer Journal - The quaternary ... As shown in Figure 6, the quaternary carbon linked to sulfur at a cross-linking junction may maintain the accordion structure of natural rubber, ...

The influence of rubber functionality on polymer-filler interaction was evaluated. The use of a polymer-containing silica functionality was shown to provide improved polymer-filler interaction, which ...

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 ...

Billions of tires are discarded globally every year, and this is identified as one of the major causes of serious ...

The amorphous and crystalline states of polymers; polymer/polymer phase diagrams; glass-rubber transition and polymer viscoelastic behavior. Prerequisites. PLAS.4030 Mechanical Behavior Polymers, and ...

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. There are natural and synthetic polymers, including proteins and rubber, and glass and epoxies.

The intra-polymer structure characteristics of the polymers decide whether a long chain polymer is ‘stiff’ or ‘soft’ or something in between. Inter-polymer forces: There are some polymers that have ...
