A considerable amount of interest exists in characterizing the nature of carbon black binding to the polymer and associated properties. Even though the existence of different degrees of reinforcement with [...]

The study of rubber-metal bonding in the molding process is subject to continual review due to its vast variety of applications in the medical, consumer products, printing, automotive and aerospace [...]

The vulcanization process is a thermally induced crosslinking step which imparts strength, resistance to flow and elasticity to the cured rubber. Ever since Goodyear's first vulcanization experiment in heating natural [...]

Elastomers are used in industry primarily because of their remarkable durability, which is in part due to the molecular orientation and ciystallization of these macromolecules. In the adhesive and rubber [...]

Dispersions of pigments containing differentions have been studied in waterborne latices in which the polymer contains ionizable functional groups. Each system has been tested for related adhesion properties when coated [...]

A guideline for adjusting the parameters in rubber-based adhesives for better adhesion to substrates. IN the adhesives and coatings industry, elastomers are used primarily because of their remarkable durability derived [...]

The effect of light weathering on coatings is the result of complex processes of photochemical degradation of the polymers, hydrolysis and oxidation with the participation of atmospheric moisture and oxygen, [...]

Focuses on carbon-black reinforcement of adhesives and sealants based on natural rubber. Use as filler to give reinforcing effects; Enhancement of the intermolecular or cohesive forces of the product and to impart conductivity; Interest in characterizing the nature of carbon-black binding to the polymer and the associated properties.

Focuses on the property-structure relationship within the waterborne coatings and ink sectors in the United States. Factors that created the need for replacing solvent-based coating and ink systems with aqueous products; Relation of the dynamic behavior of the component molecules in the formulation to the properties and performances of the finished products.
