Standard Rubbers for Chemical Defense Research. Volume 1. Formulation and Properties

Abstract

There is need to establish a systematic materials data base, regarding interaction with chemical warfare (CW) liquids, to facilitate development of advanced materiel and to permit better understanding of basic interaction phenomena. Accordingly, the U.S. Army Materials Technology Laboratory (MTL) has conducted detailed CW liquid interaction studies with two sets of rubber materials obtained from commercial sources and designated by MTL as standard rubbers. Volume I of this series of reports deals with the composition and properties of these rubbers, all of them having the many ingredients typical of commercial materials. Keywords: Rubber; Synthetic rubber; Hardness; Glass transition temperature; Fillers; Rubber recipes; Infrared spectra; Thermogravimetry.
