#RubberScience Vulcanisation forms a stable three-dimensional network of polymer molecules by attaching adjacent molecules to each other through the formation of cross-links. Sulfur is the most commonly used cross-linking agent employed in rubber compounds. #vulcanisation

#RubberScience When blending different polymers, aim for similar viscosities to avoid a lumpy “pea soup” effect. Poor compatibility can result in uncured phases within vulcanised products, which may lead to delamination and failure. #rubbercompounding #polymerprocessing

#RubberScience ‘Plasticity’ is a rubber’s ability to flow (the ability of the polymer molecules to slide over each other). ‘Elasticity’ is its ability to recover from deforming loads & reform back to its original shape. #plasticity #elasticity #polymers
