polybutadiene elastomer
11Ozone cracking — in natural rubber tubing Cracks can be formed in many different elastomers by ozone attack, and the characteristic form of attack of vulnerable rubbers is known as ozone cracking. The problem was formerly very common, especially in tires, but is… …
12Copolymer — Vinyl Copolymer Milk A heteropolymer or copolymer is a polymer derived from two (or more) monomeric species, as opposed to a homopolymer where only one monomer is used.[1] Copolymerization refers to methods used to chemically synthesize a… …
13N-Butyllithium — Chembox new Name = n Butyllithium ImageFile = N butyllithium tetramer 3D balls.png ImageName = 3D ball and stick model of n butyllithium IUPACName = butyllithium, tetra μ3 butyl tetralithium OtherNames = NBL, BuLi, 1 lithiobutane Section1 =… …
14Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant — Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant, or APCP, is a modern solid rocket propellant used in both manned and unmanned rocket vehicles. It is extremely efficient and is also more powerful than other, older, more conventional solid rocket… …
15Thermoplastics — A thermoplastic is a plastic that melts to a liquid when heated and freezes to a brittle, very glassy state when cooled sufficiently. Most thermoplastics are high molecular weight polymers whose chains associate through weak Van der Waals forces… …
16Rubber technology — is the subject dealing with the transformation of rubbers or elastomers into useful products, such as automobile tires.The materials includes latex, natural rubber, synthetic rubber and other polymeric materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers …
17Polymer engineering — is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and/or modifies polymer materials. Polymer engineering covers aspects of petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers,… …
18Polymer-bonded explosive — A polymer bonded explosive, also called PBX or plastic bonded explosive, is an explosive material in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5–10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer ( plastic ). Note… …
19Tire manufacturing — Pneumatic tires are manufactured according to relatively standardized processes and machinery, in around 450 tire factories in the world. Over 1 billion tires are manufactured annually, making the tire industry the majority consumer of natural… …
20Strain crystallization — is a phenomenon in which an initially amorphous solid material undergoes a phase transformation due to the application of strain. Strain crystallization occurs in natural rubber, and some other elastomers. The phenomenon has important effects on… …
