There was significant interest in developing commercial processes based on phenolic resins in the 1890-1910 era. By this time, cellulose nitrate, vulcanized rubber, and viscose rayon had all found places in commerce [24]. Smith patented processes for manufacture of commercially useful molded articles from phenolic in 1899-1900 [2,25-28]. His products were made with phenol, paraldehyde (2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-trioxane) or parafonnaldehyde, and additives in the presence of HCl at elevated temperatures. 

FIGURE 19.17 The gray cylinders in the small inset represent polyisoprene molecules, and the beaded yellow strings represent disulfide (—S—S—) links that are introduced when the rubber is vulcanized, or heated with sulfur. These cross-links increase the resilience of the rubber and make it more useful than natural rubber. Automobile tires are made of vulcanized rubber and a number of additives, including carbon.

Lord Kelvin s close associate, the expert experimentalist J. P. Joule, set about to test the former s theoretical relationship and in 1859 published an extensive paper on the thermoelastic properties of various solids—metals, woods of different kinds, and, most prominent of all, natural rubber. In the half century between Gough and Joule not only was a suitable theoretical formula made available through establishment of the second law of thermodynamics, but as a result of the discovery of vulcanization (Goodyear, 1839) Joule had at his disposal a more perfectly elastic substance, vulcanized rubber, and most of his experiments were carried out on samples which had been vulcanized. He confirmed Gough s first two observations but contested the third. On stretching vulcanized rubber to twice its initial length. Joule ob-... 

Although it is a brittle metal, it has found a use in the semiconductor industry in the production of diodes and infrared devices. It is also used to flameproof material and vulcanize rubber and can also be a component in paints, ceramic enamels, glass, pottery, and fireworks. 

Zinc oxide has many uses. By far the most important is in the rubber industry. Almost half the world s ZnO is used as an activator for vulcanization accelerators in natural and synthetic rubber. The reactivity of the ZnO is a function of its specific surface area, but is also influenced by the presence of impurities such as lead and sulfates. The ZnO also ensures good durability of the vulcanized rubber, and increases its thermal conductivity. The ZnO content is usually 2-5%. 

Plasticity test determines the deformation or flow of a rubber compound having little elastic recovery. It should be remembered that elasticity is present even in an un-vulcanized rubber and the energy will be stored in the compound during deformation and then released when the force is removed. Rubber before vulcanization is in between a plastic and an elastic state when warmed up it becomes more plastic and less elastic. From commercial points of view, the plasticity tests are of little significance, but are important because their results assist in determining the processibility of the material and are used frequently for process control purposes.

This compound cannot be prepared directly from the trisulphide and sulphur, because it is decomposed at a temperature below that at which the latter substances would react. As has just been seen, however, the higher sulpho-salt of antimony can be readily prepared in the wet way and this, on decomposition with a dilute acid, yields antimony pentasulphide. This substance is used in vulcanizing rubber and produces a red colored product. 

Sulfur is used mainly to manufacture sulfuric acid, but also in vulcanizing rubber and to make CS2, P2S5, and a few other sulfides. 

Weakly crosslinked epoxy-amine networks above their Tg exhibit rubbery behaviour like vulcanized rubbers and the theory of rubber elasticity can be applied to their mechanical behaviour. The equilibrium stress-strain data can be correlated with the concentration of elastically active network chains (EANC) and other statistical characteristics of the gel. This correlation is important not only for verification of the theory but also for application of crosslinked epoxies above their Tg. 

Organic polysulfanes are also important constituents of polysulfide polymers of the Thiokol type, of vulcanized rubber, and of sulfur cement. In addition, there are a few special applications in the oil industry and in medicine. Sulfur-containing polymers have been extensively reviewed by Tobolsky and MacKnight in 1965 and by Duda and Penczek in 1987. ...

Most of the commonly used degradable polymer scaffolds are mechanically strong, but for certain applications such as engineering muscles and tendons, which require considerable elasticity, these polymers are not optimal. Novel biodegradable polyesters have been developed with superior elasticity and strength that resemble vulcanized rubber and are hence termed as biorubber. Scaffolds made with these mechanically functional materials may be useful especially in engineering elastic tissue such as muscular-skeletal tissues and blood vessels. 

A growing volume of waste materials, especially vulcanized rubbers and crosslinked polymers are proving difficult to recycle. As an alternative to their disposal in landfills, there have been many attempts to grind these materials and use the products as a substitute for fillers in composite materials. Other non-plastic materials such as glass, paper, natural fibrous materials, and fly ash are also used for filler replacement. There is extensive literature on the use of ground tires as filler replacements. This is a specialized topic with only a minor relationship to fillers.
