چکیده

A cheap and fast method of providing long term accommodating insoles is described. Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber is used, with suitable coverings, to provide pain relief and support for feet and ankles. The combination of physical properties of the finished item provides a useful balance between support and flexibility which results in these insoles being readily accepted by the patients.

Measured limits to contamination of optical surfaces by elastomers in vacuum.

We have monitored the reflectivity of mirrors that were exposed to a fluoroelastomer (3M-Fluorel 2176) and a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (RTV-615) in vacuum. The 95% confidence limit on the decrease of mirror reflectivities was less than 0.35 ppm/week for Fluorel and <0.29 ppm/week for RTV-615.
