EFFECT OF CURE UPON CROSSLINKING, CHAIN SCISSION, AND COMPRESSION SET IN AN IRRADIATED RUBBER VULCANIZATE

Abstract

The analysis deals with the effect of additives and cure on compression set, crosslinking, and chain scission in an irradiated rubber vulcanizate. It is part of a continuing investigation on the interaction of nuclear radiation with elastomeric materials. These elastomers are of interest for their possible use as component parts of devices which may be used in prolonged or intense nuclear radiation fields on earth or in space.
