Silk and Rayon

In one of the first reports on fiber reinforcement of rubber, natural rubber (NR) was used by Collier [9] as the rubber matrix, which was reinforced using short cotton fibers. Some of the most commonly used rubber matrices for fiber reinforcement are NR, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polychloroprene rubber, and nitrile rubber [10-13]. These rubbers were reinforced using short and long fibers including jute, silk, and rayon [14—16].

Another way of demonstrating currently achievable performance with the above system is shown in Table 13. Here, the peak counts/sec from a typical empty suitcase, leather attache case, and the leather attache case containing six sticks of Dynamite are compared to the background level. The attache case, in both cases, was also filled with common nitrogen-rich materials such as wool, vitamins Bj and B12t pills, rayon, saccharin, silk and other materials such as paper, cotton and brass ... 

As a result of this effort, comparison standards for cotton and wool were distributed for the first time in 1914 and 1916. Then, after a long interval and contrary to the original decision, 5-degree standards were put out between 1926 and 1928 for unweighted silk, weighted silk, viscose rayon, and acetate silk. With these standards, it was possible for the first time to classify dyes in fastness groups according to a uniform system. 

Cotton and the rayons do not have the anionic and cationic carboxyl and amine groups of wool and silk and hence do not dye well with direct dyes, but they can be dyed with substances of rather high molecular weight...
