“…In 1837, while Charles Goodyear was working on NR, he accidently noticed that in the presence of sulfur vapors, the NR strength increases significantly, and NR was first crosslinked (Jones and Allen, 1992). There are several commercial methods for creating crosslink networks, while none provide the necessary flexibility and elasticity rather than sulfur vulcanization (Hernandez et al, 2015).…”

“…Some of the polyorganophosphazenes have found commercial applications [93]. Fluorinated polyphosphazene elastomers are suitable for applications such as in the oil field [94]. Poly(fluoroalkoxyphosphazene) fluoroelastomers have very good stress-strain properties, low temperature flexibility, and thermal stability.…”

Polyphosphazenes form one of the most important and interesting classes of inorganic polymers having a backbone of alternating phosphorus and nitrogen atoms with phosphorus atom bearing two organic side groups. The most important feature of these polymers is the synthesis route which allows the side groups to be changed over a wide range to obtain a broad variety of products with different properties from elastomers to glasses, water soluble to hydrophobic polymers, bioinert to bioactive materials, and electrical insulators to conductors. In this paper, some novel applications of these polymers in biomedical materials and advanced devices are reviewed.

“…The extracted natural latex is then converted into an ultra cushioning material with a wide range of firmness and comfort, through heat, vacuum, and freezing. In general, the NLFMM processes follow one of the following approaches [2]: 1. Standard process: this is also referred to as the Dunlop process (Note: It is a less expensive process for NLFMM whilst producing a finished product that has a steadier feel); 2.…”

Natural latex foam mattresses (NLFMs) are manufactured using the latex extracted in its purest form of milky white liquid, which is tapped from the trunks of mature rubber trees. The natural latex foam mattress manufacturing (NLFMM) process undergoes several processing stages before the natural latex is converted into an ultra cushioning material with a wide range of firmness and comfort. Among the other processing steps, the gelling process has been found to play a significant role in controlling the quality of the final product, provided that quality raw materials have been supplied to the manufacturing plant. This manuscript suggests a methodology for estimating optimal levels of parameters that affect the gelling process, focusing on minimizing the influence on mattresses' surface quality deterioration. A case study has been performed in collaboration with one of the natural latex foam manufacturing plants to recognize main quality deterioration mechanisms and corresponding process parameters using the engineering robust design approach to establish the optimal combination of influencing factor levels.
