UBE Industries, Ltd. is a leading global manufacture of high-cis polybutadiene rubber using a cobalt catalyst. Since the early 70s, the company have been manufacturing UBEPOL in its plant in ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The structure, tensile, thermal and dynamic properties of decrosslinked PEX-A were studied. It was found that tensile and thermal properties of decrosslinked PEX-A were insignificantly affected by the ...

The chemical structure of the elastomers provides them with an inherent hardness that can be altered. The modified hardness is then measured in terms of of durometer (duro) on a Shore scale. Shore A ...

Rubber is the general term for an elastomer, a polymeric material that may be deformed elastically by several hundred percent. Elastomers are based on macromolecules with either carbon or silicon ...
