Abstract The softening of elastomers on cold milling results from scission of the polymer molecules by the applied shearing forces. The ruptured chains are free radicals, which can undergo mutual combination, interaction with oxygen and various additives, and branching (grafting) on to other polymer molecules. A general method of producing graft and block interpolymers between elstomers is therefore indicated, namely, to cold-mill the polymers together in the absence of small molecules which can terminate the polymeric radicals in order that the radicals may cross-terminate or graft onto the polymer molecules of the other type. A survey of several pairs of the commercially important elastomers, natural rubber, butadiene-styrene, Neoprene, and butadiene-acrylonitrile, has shown that cold milling does effect interlinking. Detailed results for the rubber-Neoprene system are reported in this communication. Experimental verification of polymer interlinking was obtained from the solubility properties of the milled elastomers. Cold milling of Neoprene under nitrogen produces gel, whereas of natural rubber does not, but the milling of mixtures gives gels containing natural rubber. Also, the solubilities and precipitation of the milled mixtures cannot be accounted for by these properties of the individual polymers. Finally, Neoprene-natural rubber mixtures, after and not before cold-milling, can be cross-linked by magnesium oxide, with rubber bound into the vulcanizate.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division replaced their 21 pneumatic type wavemaker domes with a 216-paddle directional wavemaker in the fall of 2013. This wavemaker is capable of producing regular waves at oblique angles to the wave banks as well as long crested and short crested irregular model seas. Another powerful capability of the new system is the ability to preview the commanded waves in 3D virtual space on the computer screen. The new directional wavemaker facility has been in operation for four years. Mixtures of capabilities exceeding the original requirements as well as unforeseen problems were encountered. Based upon the operational experience gained in the last four years lessons learned are presented. Going from 21 domes to 216 individual paddles has adverse consequences on maintenance and reliability. That in and of itself is just a consequence of requiring a more complex machine to make more complex waves – not really good or bad. Despite the initial concerns this wavemaker has proven to be reliable, easily maintainable and when required, easily repairable.
