Elastomer Suitable for Track Pad Use that will Change from the Amorphous to the Crystalline State on Stress Application

Abstract

Novel blends of model elastomers were synthesized to determine their potential use in tank track pads to be used at high temperatures, pressures, and shearing stresses. The effect of strain-induced crystallization, microgel inclusions, and reinforcing gelled filler on the physical properties of elastomers was determined. The physical and chemical properties of natural rubber at track pad temperatures and of styrene butadiene rubber pad conditions was determined.
