Electron Beam Processing of Elastomers

Elastomers are polymeric substances with rubber-like behavior at ambient temperatures. This means they are more or less elastic, extensible, and flexible. They can be exfended by relafively small force and return to the original length (or near it) after the force is removed. Rubber-like behavior can be observed in plastics, but under different conditions, such as at elevated temperatures or in swollen state. These are not true elastomers, however. [Pg.100]

Vulcanization or cross-linking of elastomers is technically the most important process for convenhonal elastomers. During that process strong chemical [Pg.101]
