The foregoing is an equilibrium analysis, yet some transient effects are probably important to film resilience. Rayleigh [182] noted that surface freshly formed by some insult to the film would have a greater than equilibrium surface tension (note Fig. 11-15). A recent analysis [222] of the effect of surface elasticity on foam stability relates the nonequilibrium surfactant surface coverage to the foam retention time or time for a bubble to pass through a wet foam. The adsorption process is important in a new means of obtaining a foam by supplying vapor phase surfactants [223].

Commonly used isocyanates are toluene dhsocyanate, methylene diphenyl isocyanate, and polymeric isocyanates. Polyols used are macroglycols based on either polyester or polyether. The former [poly(ethylene phthalate) or poly(ethylene 1,6-hexanedioate)] have hydroxyl groups that are free to react with the isocyanate. Most flexible foam is made from 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate (which refers to the ratio of 2,4-toluene dhsocyanate to 2,6-toluene dhsocyanate). High-resilience foam contains about 80% 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate and 20% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate), while semi-flexible foam is almost always 100% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate). Much of the latter reacts by trimerization to form isocyanurate rings. 

Its principal advantages are high resilience and good abrasion resistance. 

Cross-linking of a polymer elevates and extends the mbbery plateau little effect on T is noted until extensive cross-linking has been introduced (23,25,28). A cross-link joins more than two primary polymer chains together. In practice, cross-linking of acryflc polymers is used to decrease thermoplasticity and solubility and increase resilience. In some instances cross-linking moieties are used in reactions of a polymer with a substrate (20). The chemistry of cross-linking is described in references 11 and 29—38.

Modification of the Phosphodiester Backbone. Oligonucleotides having modified phosphate backbones have been extensively studied (46). Because altering the backbone makes derivatives generally more resistant to degradation by cellular nucleases, these materials have the potential to be more resilient antisense dmgs.

Asphalt-Rubber Systems (Warwick, Rhode Island) markets, designs, and develops specifications for asphalt—mbber paving projects for highways and streets. The company has paved 48 km of highway in Worcester, Massachusetts. Some sections of the road paved with asphalt—mbber membranes are more resilient than surfaces without asphalt—mbber (16). 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has opened another market for scrap tires in resilient playground surfacing. Many schools and recreation facilities ate reconfiguring playgrounds to make them more accessible, including the use of resilient surfaces which can be traversed by wheelchairs. 

The property of polybutadiene of most interest to the mbber compounder is excellent abrasion resistance coupled with excellent resilience. The polymer has very high rebound and low heat generation. With a few exceptions, such as the core of soHd golf balls, the polymer is blended with other polymers to take advantage of its excellent abrasion and rebound. Uses in North America are as follows tires, 500,000 t (74%) plastic modification,... 

Fibers have been used by humans for thousands of years, but only in the twentieth century has there been such an explosion in fiber types available to the textile manufacturer. The advent of synthetic fibers possessing improved resiliency and dimensional stability has placed natural fibers, particularly cotton (qv), at an ostensible disadvantage. Before synthetics, various means to control the shrinkage, dimensional stability, and smooth-dry performance of cotton had been investigated, but the appearance of synthetics such as polyester has placed a greater sense of urgency on cotton interests to focus on the perceived deficiencies of natural fibers. 

Resilience of textile fabrics when compressed in the bent state is related to wrinkle resistance and retention of shape, drape, and hand. Resilience is an important parameter for evaluating blankets, wearing apparel in which warmth is a factor, pUe fabrics including carpets, and bulk fiber utilization in mattresses, cushions, etc. The general method for determining compressional resilience is to compress and unload the material cycHcahy, creating a plot of compressive force versus fabric thickness. 

Resilient Diners. Resilient liners reduce the impact of the hard denture bases on soft oral tissues. They are designed to absorb some of the energy produced by masticatory forces that would otherwise be transmitted through the denture to the soft basal tissue. The liners should adhere to but not impair the denture base. Other critical properties include total recovery from deformation, retention of mechanical properties, good wettability, minimal absorption of... 

Tissue Conditioners. Tissue conditioners are gels designed to alleviate the discomfort from soft-tissue injury, eg, extractions. Under a load, they exhibit viscous flow, forming a soft cushion between the hard denture and the oral tissues. The polymer in tissue conditioners is often the same as that used for resilient liners. The liquid is a plasticizer containing an alcohol of low volatility (219,220). 

The alcohol swells the poly (ethyl methacrylate) beads, rapidly promoting diffusion of the plasticizer into the polymer. As a result of the polymer-chain entanglement, a gel is formed. The conditioner is applied to the denture and provides a cushioning effect alcohol and plasticizer are slowly leached out, and the material becomes rigid. To ensure resiliency, the conditioner must be replaced after a few days. Some materials exhibit high flow over a short period compared with others with low initial flow the latter remain active longer. 

Processings and Properties. Polybutadiene is compounded similarly to SBR and vulcanised with sulfur. The high cis-1,4 type crystallizes poorly on stretching so it is not suitable as a "gum" stock but requires carbon black reinforcement. It is generally used for automotive tires in mixtures with SBR and natural mbber. Its low T (—OS " C) makes it an excellent choice for low temperature tire traction, and also leads to a high resilience (better than natural mbber) which ia turn results ia a lower heat build-up. Furthermore, the high i j -polybutadiene also has a high abrasion resistance, a plus for better tire tread wear. 

Butterfly Valves These valves (Fig. 10-155) occupy less space in the line than any other valves. Relatively tight sealing without excessive operating torque and seat wear is accomphshed by a variety of methods, such as resilient seats, piston rings on the disk, and inclining the stem to limit contact between the portions of disk closest to the stem and the body seat to a few degrees of curvature.

Resilient materials such as rubber and some plastics may be useful in certain applications, especially under conditions of low cavitation intensities. However, such materials are subject to disbondment at the metal and elastomer interface at high cavitation intensities, even if the exposure is brief. 

When the plates slide past each other, they may cause stresses at the edges of the crust. The stresses may build up and at some stage exceed the resilience of the earth s crust and cause a fault, i.e.. cause the crust to rupture and shift. When this occurs, it causes an earthquake in the form of violent motion of the earth s surface and/or large sea waves. Major earthquakes occur because of this phenomenon.
