Download Engineering with rubber : how to design rubber components by Alan N. Gent PDF

By Alan N. Gent

This ebook presents the foundations of rubber technological know-how and technology:  what rubber is, the way it behaves, and the way to layout engineering parts with rubber. It introduces the principles on which winning use of rubber relies and gives recommendations to the questions engineers in rubber processing face on a daily basis. How is an elastomer chosen and a formulation built? Why is rubber hugely elastic and comparatively robust? How is the stiffness and strength of a product anticipated? How is high caliber and sturdiness assured? The authors describe present practices in rubber engineering. on the finish of every bankruptcy, there are pattern questions and difficulties (with ideas) that gauge mastery of the cloth

Example text

Another outstanding feature of butyl rubber is its low permeability to gases. Thus, it is widely used in inner tubes and tire innerliners. Brominated (BIIR) and chlorinated (CIIR) modifications of IIR are also available. They have enhanced cure compatibility with the general purpose diene elastomers. 5 Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR, EPDM) The commercial rubbers with the lowest density are ethylene-propylene (EPR) copolymers made by Ziegler-Natta and metallocene polymerization. To introduce unsaturated cure sites, a non-conjugated diene termonomer, such as 1,4 hexadiene, ethylidene norbornene, or dicyclopentadiene, is employed.

Polychloroprene, though containing more unsaturation, has higher resistance to ozone than nitrile rubber. Furthermore, nitrile rubber cures readily with sulfur, while polychloroprene does not. Explain. Homopolymerization of ethylene or propylene results in a hard plastic, while a 50/50 copolymer is an elastomer.

Elasticity Alan N. 1 Introduction Rubber consists of long flexible molecules that are in continuous Brownian motion at normal temperatures due to thermal agitation. As a result, the molecules take up a variety of random configurations like a basketful of snakes. When the molecules are straightened out by an applied force and released, they spring back to random shapes as fast as their thermal motion allows. This is the origin of the unique ability of rubber to undergo large elastic deformations and recover completely – rubber molecules are highly flexible and therefore highly extensible, but in the absence of an external force they adopt rather compact, random configurations.
