Conclusions Concerned with Vulcanized Rubber

On the whole, two kinds of mechanical properties are of interest to characterize the rubber materials those measured under static conditions, and the others measured under dynamic conditions. 

The mechanical properties measured under dynamic conditions are of high interest, as they allow the use of the rubber samples in engineering applications. 

In all these applications, the value of the state of cure of the rubber samples is considered as a reference, with the final conclusion being that the properties of the rubber samples increase with the state of cure. This fact brings some additional interest to the problems set by the cure of rubber.
