The encapsulated material can be released by diffusion through the capsule wall, or, rapidly, by applying pressure, dissolving, melting, or chemical decomposition. The measured diffusion rates, in these cases, correspond well with those calculated from the permeability coefficients (see also Section 7.2), and depend both on the chemical nature of the microcapsule wall and that of the internal phase. For example, the half-life for the passage of water through a poly(butadiene) rubber wall of about 25-pm thickness is... 

Figure 5.3 I The inset in this figure shows a microscopic scale close-up of the gas molecules in a balloon. As molecules move through the volume of the balloon, occasionally they collide with the rubber walls. In every such collision, the gas molecules exert a small force on the balloon wall, pushing it outward. When summed over the large number of gas molecules present, these small forces give rise to the observed pressure of the gas and are responsible for the shape of the balloon.

Nanocomposite coatings are also used to increase air pressure retention for automobile tires and sports (e.g., tennis, soccer) balls. These coatings are composed of small and exfoliated vermiculite platelets that are embedded in the tire/ sports ball rubber. Furthermore, platelet particles are aligned in the same manner as for food/beverage coatings described previously such that diffusion of pressurized air molecules through the rubber walls is suppressed. 

Pipelines are cleaned and inspected using pigs . Pigs usually have a steel body fitted with rubber cups and brushes or scrapers to remove wax and rust deposits on the pipe wall, as the pig is pumped along the pipe. Sometimes spherical pigs are used for product separation or controlling liquid hold up. In field lines handling untreated crude may have to be insulated to prevent wax formation. 

If it is desired to carry out the combined operations of stirring, refluxing, and addition of a liquid in a stream of gas, the apparatus of Fig. 77, 7, 12, a may be used the side tube for the gas is sealed on to the separatory funnel. For the passage of a gas into a stirred liquid, the aperture carrying the modified separatory funnel may be fitted with the device shown in Fig. 77, 7, 12, 6 the glass rod inside the tube is held in position by a short length of heavy-wall rubber tubing and is employed to clear the lower end of the gas delivery tube, should it become blocked with solid reaction product. 

The technique of the filtration of hot solutions has already been described in Section 11,28. The filtration of cold solutions will now be considered this operation is usually carried out when it is desired to separate a crystalline solid from the mother liquor in which it is suspended. When substantial quantities of a solid are to be handled, a Buchner funnel of convenient size is employed. The ordinary Buchner fimnel (Fig. 11,1, 7, a) consists of a cylindrical porcelain funnel carrying a fixed, flat, perforated porcelain plate. It is fitted by means of a rubber stopper or a good cork into the neck of a thick-walled filtering flask (also termed filter flask, Buchner flask or suction flask) (Fig. 11,1, 7, c), which is connected by means of thick-walled rubber tubing (rubber pressure tubing) to a similar flask or safety bottle, and the latter is attached by rubber pressure tubing to a filter pump the safety bottle or trap is essential since a sudden fall in water pressure may result in the water sucking back. The use of suction renders rapid filtration possihle... 

The swan neck adapter of Fig. II, 56, 12 is useful for distillations as it permits the use of a capillary tube (held in position by a short length of heavy-walled rubber tubing) not sealed to a ground joint. It may also be used for inser tion of a thermometer or a gas-inlet tube in the narrow neck and a reflux condenser into the ground joint this device virtually converts a three-necked into a four-necked flask. Common sizes are cone fil9, 24, 29, or 34 socket 19, 24 or 29. 

Rubber processed in latex form accounts for about 10% of new mbber consumption. Rubber latex is a Hquid, oil-in-water emulsion which is used to make foam or thin-walled mbber articles. The same accelerators and antidegradants used in dry mbber are used in latex, with longer-chain versions preferred for greater oil solubiHty. To prepare these and other additives for addition to latex, they must be predispersed in water and the surface of the powder or oil droplet coated with a surface-active agent to prevent destabilization (coagulation) of the latex. 

Fast, low temperature curing mbber compounds can be prepared by initial heat prevulcanisation of the Hquid latex and are marketed commercially (Revultex, Doverstrand Corporation). Rubber deposited from these often needs tittle more heat than that required to dry the deposit, to achieve optimum tensile strength and elongation. Such compounds are often used by small companies manufacturing thin-wall dipped medical latex products, such as examination gloves, as few compound preparation facilities are needed by the dipping company. 

The submerged metal belt (Fig. ll-53b) is a special version of the metal belt to meet the peculiar handling properties of pitch in its solidification process. Although adhesive to a dry metal wall, pitch will not stick to the submerged wetted belt or rubber edge strips. Submergence helps to offset the very poor thermal conduclivity through two-sided heat transfer. 

Banbury Mixer Preeminent in the field of high-intensity mixers, with power input up to 6000 kW/m (30 hp/gal), is the Banbury mixer, made by the Farrel Co. (Fig. 18-43). It is used mainly in the plastics and rubber industries. The top of the charge is confined by an air-operated ram cover mounted so that it can be forced down on the charge. The clearance between the rotors and the walls is extremely small, and it is... 

Hard rubber is one of the few combustible materials which is generally ground on heavy steam-heated rollers. The raw material passes to a series of rolls in closed circuit with screens and air classifiers. Farrel-Birmingham rolls are used extensively for this work. There is a differential in the roll diameters. The motor should be separated from the grinder by a fire wall. 

Tank material A mild-steel (MS) tank, with a wall thickness of 4-6 mm, and having an acid-proof lining of FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic), rubber or PVC will be suitable for this purpose. A healing arrangement, even if a cold process is adopted, will be ideal for... 

There is one obvious drawback of high-hysteresis rubber. In normal rolling operation, considerable elastic deformations still take place in the tyre wall, and high-loss tyres will consume fuel and generate considerable heat. The way out is to use a low-loss tyre covered with a high-loss tread - another example of design using composite materials (Fig. 26.9). 

For viscosity or sag control. When the rubber base adhesive is applied on a vertical surface, addition of a filler prevents the adhesive from running down the wall. In solvent-borne formulations, fumed silica can be used as anti-sag filler. In water-borne systems, clays impart yield stress and excellent sag control. 

Process systems handling polymers and resins (e.g., butyl rubber or ethylene-propylene diene monomer rubbers) are often subject to plugging at dead-end locations such as PR valve inlets. In extreme cases, complete blockage of inlet piping and valve nozzle can result. This problem can be eliminated by the application of a flush-seated PR valve, in which dead-end areas are eliminated by placing the valve disc flush with the vessel wall, in the flow pattern of the contents. 

A heavy-walled hydrogenation bottle will tolerate pressures up to 5 atmospheres, although an efficient seal is difficult to devise. A wired-on rubber stopper will serve but will leak well below the limiting pressure tolerance of the bottle.
