Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicone rubber insulated wire and cable can be hot liquid vulcanized using similar techniques to those used for hot air vulcanizing. The major advantage of hot liquid vulcanization is the faster vulcanization rates which can be obtained. Silicone rubber insulated wire and cable can be vulcanized approximately twice as fast with hot liquid as hot air. Hot liquid vulcanization of silicone rubber insulated wire and cable should be an important consideration for manufacturers who wish to extrude silicone rubber insulated wire and cable at high extrusion rates and with a minimum amount of capital investment for vulcanizing equipment.

Download or read book The Polysiloxanes written by James E. Mark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polysiloxanes are the most studied inorganic and semi-inorganic polymers because of their many medical and commercial uses. The Si-O backbone endows polysiloxanes with intriguing properties: the strength of the Si-O bond imparts considerable thermal stability, and the nature of the bonding imparts low surface free energy. Prostheses, artificial organs, objects for facial reconstruction, vitreous substitutes in the eyes, and tubing take advantage of the stability and pliability of polysiloxanes. Artificial skin, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems utilize their high permeability. Such biomedical applications have led to biocompatibility studies on the interactions of polysiloxanes with proteins, and there has been interest in modifying these materials to improve their suitability for general biomedical application. Polysiloxanes examines novel aspects of polysiloxane science and engineering, including properties, work in progress, and important unsolved problems. The volume, with ten comprehensive chapters, examines the history, preparation and analysis, synthesis, characterization, and applications of these polymeric materials.

Download or read book Modelling the Vulcanization Reaction of Devulcanized Rubber written by Ankita Saikia and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of scrap tires/rubber is increasing annually and thus there is a need for a safer and more efficient method of disposal or reuse of this rubber. As the direct disposal (burning/ land filling) of scrap rubber has harmful effects on the environment, recycling and reusing is given great consideration. For reusing, scarp rubber can be devulcanized and used in many applications. Some methods for devulcanization of rubber have been developed and devulcanized rubber can be blended with virgin rubber and re-cured. However, the curing behavior of devulcanized rubber will vary compared to that of virgin rubber so it would be helpful if a proper model could be obtained in order to characterize and optimize the curing properties of devulcanized rubber with respect to the curatives added. The main objective of this study is to characterize the vulcanization reaction of devulcanized rubber by using a kinetic model which will help in predicting the kinetics of vulcanization with change in temperature and the amount of curatives added. Also, it will help to obtain a better understanding of the relationship between curing behavior and properties of devulcanized rubber. It may further help in minimizing the time required for choosing the appropriate cure system for compounds involving devulcanized rubber. This study involves fitting the cure kinetic reaction model on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data. Vulcanization is an exothermic process in which the energy released during the reaction is assumed to be proportional to the bonds formed and thus can be related to the degree of vulcanization. DSC records this heat released which is later used to calculate the reaction rate and degree of cure. As vulcanization is a chemical process, its simulation involves characterization of kinetic parameters. Experiments have been done using 7 different samples of devulcanized rubber which vary in curative composition. Those samples have been tested using DSC at different temperature scanning rates and a kinetic model was used to fit the DSC data and to determine the kinetic model parameters. The Kissinger model along with the Arrhenius equation was used to determine the vulcanization activation energy and the Kamal-Sourour model was used to fit the data obtained from DSC through non-linear least square techniques and estimate the rest of the parameters. To have a comparison between virgin rubber and devulcanized rubber, natural rubber samples with similar formulations have been mixed and tested in the same way. Also, to further investigate the cure kinetics of devulcanized rubber, blends of virgin rubber (tire tread compound) with different amounts of devulcanized rubber were analyzed in similar ways.

Download or read book Constitutive Models for Rubber IV written by Per-Erik Austrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique properties of elastomeric materials offer numerous advantages in many engineering applications. Elastomeric units are used as couplings or mountings between rigid components, for example in shock absorbers, vibration insulators, flexible joints, seals and suspensions, etc. However, the complicated nature of the behaviour of such material makes it difficult to accurately predict the performance of these units using finite element modelling, for example. It is imperative that constitutive models accurately capture relevant aspects of mechanical behaviour. The latest developments concerning constitutive modelling of rubber is collected in these Proceedings. Topics included in this volume are, Hyperelastic models, Strength, fracture & fatigue, Dynamic properties & the Fletcher-Gent effect, Micro-mechanical & statistical approaches, Stress softening, iscoelasticity, Filler reinforcement, and Tyres, fibre & cord reinforced rubber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to develop innovative products, to reduce development costs and the number of prototypes and to accelerate development processes, numerical simulations become more and more attractive. As such, numerical simulations are instrumental in understanding complicated material properties like chemical ageing, crack propagation or the strain- and temperature-induced crystallisation of rubber. Therefore, experimentally validated and physically meaningful constitutive models are indispensable. Elastomers are used for products like tyres, engine and suspension mounts or seals, to name a few. The interest in modelling the quasi-static stress-strain behaviour was dominant in the past decades, but nowadays the interests also include influences of environmental conditions. The latest developments on the material behaviour of elastomers are collected in the present volume.
