  2. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRC_Handbook_of_Chemistry...

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a comprehensive one-volume reference resource for science research. First published in 1914, it is currently (as of 2024) in its 105th edition, published in 2024. It is known colloquially among chemists as the "Rubber Bible", as CRC originally stood for "Chemical Rubber Company". [2]

  3. Synthetic rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_rubber

    Sheet of synthetic rubber coming off the rolling mill at the plant of Goodrich (1941) World War II poster about synthetic rubber tires. Production of synthetic rubber in the United States expanded greatly during World War II since the Axis powers controlled nearly all the world's limited supplies of natural rubber by mid-1942, following the Japanese conquest of most of Asia, particularly in ...

  4. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

    Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used in industry, and there are multiple formulations.

  5. Styrene-butadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrene-butadiene

    Styrene-butadiene or styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) describe families of synthetic rubbers derived from styrene and butadiene (the version developed by Goodyear is called Neolite [1]). These materials have good abrasion resistance and good aging stability when protected by additives.

  6. Natural rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_rubber

    Rubber, also called India rubber, latex, Amazonian rubber, caucho, or caoutchouc, [1] as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds. Types of polyisoprene that are used as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers.

  7. Rubber technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_technology

    Rubber Technology is the subject dealing with the transformation of rubbers or elastomers into useful products, such as automobile tires, rubber mats and, exercise rubber stretching bands. The materials includes latex , natural rubber , synthetic rubber and other polymeric materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers .

  8. Dimethylbutadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylbutadiene

    Their polymer was the first synthetic rubber. [5] The polymer had a number of deficiencies relative to natural rubber. [6] The Bayer synthesis of dimethylbutadiene involved the dehydration of pinacol, as described above. [4]

  9. Tire manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_manufacturing

    Coatings protect the steel from corrosion. Copper in the alloy and sulfur in the rubber cross-link to produce copper sulfide, which improves bonding of the bead to the rubber. Beads are inflexible and inelastic, and provide the mechanical strength to fit the tire to the wheel. Bead rubber includes additives to maximize strength and toughness of ...
