The seals in the clamp comprise either a standard hardness rubber (SHR) or a high hardness rubber (HHR), both of which are prepared via water-jet cutting from larger sheets. The seal is applied in a picture frame conhguration each half-clamp has an associated fully enclosed semicircular annulus, thus preventing fluid (leaking from a... 

Hydrofluoric acid [7664-39-3] M 20.0, b 112.2"(aq azeotrope, 38.2% HF), d 1.15 (47-53% HF), pK 3.21. Freed from lead (Pb ca 0.002ppm) by co-precipitation with Srp2, by addition of lOmL of 10% SrCl2 soln per kilogram of the cone acid. After the ppte has settled, the supernatant is decanted through a filter in a hard-rubber or paraffin lined-glass vessel [Rosenqvist Am J Sci 240 358 1942. Pure aqueous HF solutions (up to 25M) can be prepared by isothermal distn in polyethylene, polypropylene or platinum apparatus [Kwestroo and Visser Analyst 90 297 7965]. HIGHLY TOXIC. 

Also known as vulcanite and (mainly in the USA) hard rubber . The hard, horn-like product obtained when natural rubber and some synthetic rubbers such as nitrile (NBR) are vulcanised with a high proportion of sulphur or organic nonsulphur vulcanising agent. Butyl rubber and polysulphide rubber do not form ebonites. Ebullioscopy... 

Rubber separators have good voltage characteristics, the ability to retard antimony transfer, properties to retard dendrite growth, and good electrochemical compatibility. Due to the hydrophilic properties of the rubber composition, the separators are highly wettable and renewable for the dry-charging process. Paik et al. showed that AGE-SIL (sulfur cured, hard rubber) separators performed well in industrial stationary or traction batteries. FLEX-SIL (electron-beam-cured. flexible rubber separator) separators are suited for deep-cycling batteries, and MICROPOR-... 

The properties of a rubber are determined essentially by the number of crosslinks (degree of crosslinking) assumed Tg is sufficiently low, weakly crosslinked rubbers are highly elastic and have a low elastic modulus. Upon increasing the crosslinking density, the elasticity decreases and the elastic modulus rises. Highly crosslinked rubbers lose their elasticity almost completely (hard rubbers, ebonite). 

The Tg values of cross-linked polymers are similar to those of comparable linear polymers providing the cross-linked polymer has a low cross-linked density, i.e., 30 to 50 repeating units between the cross-links. The Tg values increase as the cross-link density increases. Thus the Tg of hard rubber which is more highly cross-linked is higher than that of soft vulcanized rubber. 

The materials are melt-process able and a critical stress for flow is observed, similar to conventional PP/EPDM-based TPVs. Application of static crosslinking leads to (partial) connectivity of the rubber particles via chemical bridging of grafted PE chains. Dynamic preparation conditions caused the connected structure to break-up, which led to a significant enhancement of the mechanical properties and the melt processability. The addition of 25-80 wt% extender oil resulted in a reduced complex viscosity and yield stress in the melt, without deteriorating the mechanical properties. The relatively good elastic recovery and excellent final properties of these high hardness TPVs can be explained in terms of the submicrometer rubber dispersions. 

Nylon and poly(vinyl chloride) sleevings are used for preinsulated terminals. Ceramics (qv) are employed in some high voltage power connectors. Hard rubber shells insulate connectors that serve underground power distribution cables. 

Equation (70) is a scaling invariant relation for the concentration-dependency of the elastic modulus of highly filled rubbers, i.e., the relation is independent of filler particle size. The invariant relation results from the special invariant form of the space-filling condition at Eq. (67) together with the scaling invariance of Eqs. (68) and (69), where the particle size d enters as a normalization factor for the cluster size only. This scaling invariance disappears if the action of the immobilized rubber layer is considered. The effect of a hard, glassy layer of immobilized polymer on the elastic modulus of CCA-clusters can be de-... 

Both linear and branched polymers are thermoplastics. However, cross-linked three-dimensional, or network-polymers are thermoset polymers. The cross-linked density may vary from the low cross-linked density in vulcanized rubber to high cross-linked density observed in ebonite (hard rubber highly cross-linked natural rubber). 

If the sulfur atoms are not part of the polymeric backbone, the polymers are not included in this class. For example, in the vulcanization process of the polymers with unsaturated carbon chain backbone, -S-S- bonds are introduced in the polymer, but the resulting product is not classified as polymer with C-S bonds in the backbone, although in hard rubber (ebonite), for example, the content of sulfur can be as high as 32%.

Nitrile rubbers give compounds with inherently poor tack and the addition of coumarone or phenolic resins helps overcome this deficiency. Phenolic resins may also be used to reinforce nitrile rubbers and to produce easily processible compounds that can be vulcanised to a high hardness. 

These may be used for low hardness compounds in areas where impact abrasion is predominant. EPDM is at times referred as crackless rubber5 since it has high tear resistance. For producing high hardness compounds blends with natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and high styrene resins are recommended.
