Flammability of diene rubbers

A New Family of Styrene/Diene Rubbers

Mulch Flammability

Introduction Regardless of how horrible and devastating wildland fires are portrayed by the media, they are a natural disturbance that many native ecosystems depend on for regeneration. As the population of the United States increases, more individuals are building their homes in wildlands rather than urban landscapes. Homes built in undeveloped wildland vegetation create areas often referred t...

Phase transitions of nematic rubbers

– Single-crystal nematic elastomers undergo a transition from a strongly ordered phase N to an “isotropic” phase I. We show that: a) samples produced under tension by the Finkelmann procedure are intrinsically anisotropic and should show a small (temperaturedependent) birefringence in the high-temperature I phase; b) for the I → N transition via cooling there is a spinodal limit but for the N →...
