Mixes mastic

An entirely new concept was iatroduced iato mbber technology with the idea of "castable" elastomers, ie, the use of Hquid, low molecular-weight polymers that could be linked together (chain-extended) and cross-linked iato mbbery networks. This was an appealing idea because it avoided the use of heavy machinery to masticate and mix a high viscosity mbber prior to mol ding and vulcanization. In this development three types of polymers have played a dominant role, ie, polyurethanes, polysulftdes, and thermoplastic elastomers. 

The first two PCs account for 85% of the total variance of the data set. The PCA highlights that the sample is placed in the area of the mastic resin cluster. This confirmed the hypothesis made on the basis of a qualitative examination of the mass spectra, even though the sample is clearly shifted at lower values of PC2 with respect to the centroid of the mastic cluster. This was attributed to the presence of other substances mixed with the resin, and/or to a different quantitative distribution of the triterpenoids present in the censer with respect to the reference raw mastic resin. 

Bound rubber in an unvulcanised carbon black-rubber mix. It results from the production of free radicals in the mastication of rubber these radicals attach themselves chemically to the particles of carbon black and form a proportion of carbon gel which is insoluble in the usual rubber solvents. 

A slatted conveyor fitted above an open mixing mill and used to increase the efficiency of mastication by cooling the rubber before returning it to the mill nip. 

Thomas Hancock (1785-1865) is designated the father of the rubber industry and to him Great Britain is indebted for the honour of being the first country to manufacture rubber successfully as a large-scale project. His first major discovery, in 1819, was the process of masticating and mixing raw rubber. His subsequent claim, in his Personal Narrative published in 1857, that this was unquestionably the origin and commencement of the India-rubber manufacture, properly so called , has been amply verified since. 

A machine for masticating rubber, mixing rubber compounds and for warming up rubber compounds prior to calendering, extrusion, etc. See Open Mill. 

A machine for converting masticated rubber or mixed compound into pellet form. It consists of an extruder screw which forces the rubber through a drilled plate, the rods so formed being cut into small lengths and treated with a lubricant to prevent sticking. In some arrangements the cutting is performed underwater to improve partition. 

Rubber which has been masticated in an operation entirely separate from the mixing process proper. See Mastication and Mixing. Premix... 

A general term applied to the variety of operations required to convert a raw elastomer into finished products. See Calendering, Compounding, Curing, Extrusion, Mastication, Mixing, Spreading. 

The two-roll mill represents the earliest form of rubber processing machine, used by the rubber manufacturer being developed from the masticator of Hancock. Over the years the emphasis of the role of the two-roll mill has moved from being that of the prime means of compound preparation for the majority of the rubber industry, to that of secondary usage. In the modem factory conventional two-roll mills are used for compound blending and for sheeting off of compound mixed by other means. In addition they are used to warm-up compounds from store, and for a number of blending purposes to achieve compound uniformity for other processes. 

The absorption efficiency of the different carotenoids is variable. For example, (3-cryptoxanthin has been reported to have higher absorption efficiency than a-cryptoxanthin in rats (Breithaupt and others 2007). Carotenoids must be liberated from the food before they can be absorbed by intestinal cells (Faulks and Southon 2005). Mechanical disruption of the food by mastication, ingestion, and mixing leads to carotenoid liberation (Guyton and Hall 2001). The enzymatic and acid-mediated hydrolysis of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins (chemical breaking of the food) also contributes to carotenoids liberation from the food matrix (Faulks and Southon 2005). Once released, carotenoids must be dissolved in oil droplets, which are emulsified with the aqueous components of the chyme. When these oil droplets are mixed with bile in the small intestine, their size is reduced, facilitating the hydrolytic processing of lipids by the pancreatic enzymes (Pasquier and others 1996 Furr and Clark 1997 ... 

While the Dove composition described in Table 9.4-2 was processable at reasonable line speeds on a conventional soap processing line (roll mills, extruders, stampers), some equipment modifications were necessary. For example, whereas soap is normally mixed in large agitated tanks, the Dove mixture had a much greater viscosity and therefore required use of a steam-jacketed kneader mixer such as those used to make bread dough, pastes or mastics. 

Food is taken into the buccal cavity, where it is masticated by the teeth and mixed with saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. It moistens the food and dissolves some molecules enabling them to interact with the taste receptors on the tongue. Saliva contains Na% Cl and HCOs ions and a protein, mucin, which is a component of mucus that lubricates the chewed food on its way down the oesophagus. The pH of saliva is about 7.8, which neutralises acid formed by bacteria in the mouth this protects tooth enamel... 

Block copolymers have been obtained from polymeric radicals, which—unlike those employed for graft polymerization—have the radical centers at the ends of the polymer chains. This can be achieved by breaking chemical bonds in the polymer backbone by mastication (mixing) of the polymer [Ceresa, 1973, 1976, 1978 Sakaguchi and Sohma, 1978]. If... 

Syntheses have been carried out on polymer-polymer, polymer-monomer, and polymer-filler systems. The properties of the products obtained can vary widely according to chemical structure and the conditions of mastication (temperature, mixing intensity, presence and nature of radical acceptors and stabilizers, atmosphere, solvents and ratio of blend components). 

At the conclusion of the paving work at Corpus Christi, two electrolytic cells were cast of sulfur concrete for use in the zinc refinery. Subsequent to the work at Corpus Christi, a sulfur concrete floor was applied in the nickel plant at the Asarco Amarillo copper refinery. An isolating barrier of bitu-mastic material was mopped on the concrete before the sulfur concrete pour. This floor, a substantially smaller area, was overlaid on a damaged existing floor. Similar techniques to those described were used in mixing and placement. 

Another method of producing the same effect— claimed aIbo in the same patent—consists in adding to the gutta-percha and its compounds when passing through the masticating machine, and whether they are mixed or not with orpiment or any other sulphide, about ten por cent, of vegetal wax or tallow. 

Basic operations such as mastication, mixing, calendering and extrusion are similar for ebonite and soft rubber. The problems, especially in the compounding and vulcanization process which arise in the manufacture of ebonites, are quite different from those with soft rubbers and different tests are used for control of manufacture and for the assessment of the quality of the product. The outstanding differences between ebonites and soft rubbers are detailed below. 

It is a well-known fact that most of the properties of rubber are complex due to its great deformability, i.e., when a piece of rubber is stretched or compressed in one direction it is compressed or stretched in another direction respectively. Rubber in fact behaves like a solid in one direction and like a liquid in another two directions. Two samples of rubber of the same composition and vulcanized side by side may give different test results due to variations in the early treatment of the rubber such as mastication and mixing or milling.
