Silicone synthetic polyisoprene

Tires, natural mbber tubes, and butyl tubes are the main sources of scrap and reclaim (see Elastomers, synthetic-polyisoprene). Specialty reclaim materials are made from scrap silicone, chloroprene (CR), nitrile— butadiene (NBR), and ethylene—propylene—diene—terpolymer (EPDM) mbber scraps (see... [Pg.19]

A convenient term for any material possessing the properties of a rubber but produced from other than natural sources. A synthetic version of natural rubber has been available for many years with the same chemical formula, i.e., cis-1,4-polyisoprene, but it has not displaced the natural form. See also Butyl Rubber, Chloroprene Rubber, Ethylene-Propylene Rubber, Nitrile Rubber, Silicone Rubber and Styrene-Butadiene Rubber. [Pg.63]

The main types of rubber used in the field of anti-corrosion are natural rubber, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polyurethane, butyl rubber, styrene butadiene, nitrile rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, polychloroprene, silicone rubber, and vinylidene rubber. The wide ranges of available natural and synthetic rubbers offer a versatility of properties to suit almost every corrosive condition encountered in the process industries. [Pg.15]

Silicone, natural, and synthetic rubbers have been used for the fabrication of implants. Natural rubber is made mostly from the latex of the Hevea brasiliensis tree and the chemical formula is the same as that of cw-1,4 polyisoprene. Natural rubber was found to be compatible with blood in its pure form. Also, cross-linking by x-ray and organic peroxides produces rubber with superior blood compatibility compared with rubbers made by the conventional sulfur vulcanization. [Pg.643]

Orientations in elongated mbbers are sometimes regular to the extent that there is local crystallization of individual chain segments (e.g., in natural rubber). X-ray diffraction patterns of such samples are very similar to those obtained from stretched fibers. The following synthetic polymers are of technical relevance as mbbers poly(acrylic ester)s, polybutadienes, polyisoprenes, polychloroprenes, butadiene/styrene copolymers, styrene/butadiene/styrene tri-block-copolymers (also hydrogenated), butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers (also hydrogenated), ethylene/propylene co- and terpolymers (with non-conjugated dienes (e.g., ethylidene norbomene)), ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, ethyl-ene/methacrylic acid copolymers (ionomers), polyisobutylene (and copolymers with isoprene), chlorinated polyethylenes, chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, polyurethanes, silicones, poly(fluoro alkylene)s, poly(alkylene sulfide)s.

Currently-used elastomers include natural rubber, the identical synthetic cis-polyisoprene, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, ethylene-propylene co-polymer rubber, fluoro rubber, urethane rubber and silicone rubber. [Pg.99]
