synopsisThe elastic and structural properties of polybutadiene vulcanized with magnesium methacrylate were investigated. Structural infprmation was obtained by x-ray smallangle diffusion diagrams. Results clearly indicate that in the elastomeric network there is a random distribution of rigid particles. The elastic behavior was analyzed in terms of the Mooney-Rivlii equation. Experimental evidence for the direct correlation between elastic and structural properties is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
