Abstract Sol rubber prepared by a single diffusion in ether can be separated into two components by fractional precipitation, whereas sol rubber prepared by a single fractional precipitation completely diffuses in ether, thus indicating the superiority of the fractional precipitation method as a means of preparing sol rubber.

Abstract The composition of milled rubber has been investigated by a method based on fractional precipitation from a benzene—alcohol mixture. This has shown that milled rubber is made of a continuous series of undefined components, without a single predominating individual. The same method had previously shown that one single individual constituted more than one-half of unmilled rubber.

Abstract Temperature—concentration diagrams are given of the systems natural rubber—alcohol—benzene, pure rubber—alcohol—benzene and synthetic rubber—alcohol—benzene. A method based on these diagrams is given for the separation of nitrogen-free rubber hydrocarbon by fractional precipitation of natural rubber from a mixture of alcohol and benzene.

Abstract 1. Fractional precipitation has been used to determine and isolate the constituents of the rubber hydrocarbon. 2. A “standard precipitation point” has been devised and its use advanced as a physical constant of rubber. 3. The presence of a single component, amounting to more than 50% and characterized by a standard precipitation point of 35°, has been demonstrated. 4. The presence of highly soluble portions, of indeterminate s. p. p., has been shown.

AbstractIn general, the main compositions of porcelain and bone china composed of 54-65%wt silica (SiO2), 23-34% wt alumina (Al2O3) and 0.2-0.7%wt calcium oxide (CaO) suitable for preparation high quality ceramic products such as soft-hard porcelain products for teeth and bones, bioceramics, IC substrate and magneto-optoelectroceramics. The quality of ceramic hand mold is depended on raw material and its properties (pH, ionic strength, solid-liquid surface tension, particle size distribution, specific surface area, porosity, density, microstructure, weight ratio between solid and water, drying time, and firing temperatures). The suitable firing conditions for porcelain and bone china hand-mold preparation were firing at 1270°C for 10 h which resulted in superior working molds for making latex films from natural and synthetic rubber. The obtained fired porcelain hand molds at 1270°C for 10 h provided good chemical durability (10%NaOH, 5%HCl and 10%wtNaCl), low thermal expansion coefficient (5.8570 × 10−6 (°C−1)), good compressive (179.40 MPa) and good flexural strength (86 MPa). While thermal expansion coefficient, compressive and flexural strength of obtained fired bone china hand molds are equal to 6.9230 × 10−6 (°C−1), 128.40 and 73.70 MPa, respectively, good acid-base-salt resistance, a smooth mold surface, and easy hand mold fabrication. Both obtained porcelain and bone china hand molds are a low production cost, making them suitable for natural and synthetic rubber latex glove formation.

Abstract Isoprene has been ethylated; 4-methyl-4-octene was formed exclusively. The structure of this nonene is in agreement with the usual behavior of a conjugated double bond system. This type of addition is further evidence in favor of the hypothesis which regards the polymerization of isoprene to synthetic rubber as the formation of long chains of isoprene units linked together- by ordinary valences in the 1,4-position.

Abstract In the opinion of Pummerer, there is considerable doubt about the homogeneity of the fractions obtained by fractional precipitation of rubber from dilute benzene solutions, both with respect to the size of the molecules and to the state of aggregation. Based on the results of x-ray measurements of fibrous substances, to which type stretched rubber belongs, Meyer and Mark have advanced the hypothesis of the existence of chains of primary valences and of a micellar structure. PURIFICATION OF RUBBER There are four important and at the same time essentially different ways of carrying out the difficult process of purifying rubber. According to Harries, acetone extraction gives a colored product and leads to profound changes in the elastic properties. Staudinger adopted the method described by Wildmann in 1911, which involves the use of a mixture of acetone and chloroform. On the other hand, Pummerer and Koch used the method of fractional precipitation; the rubber after severe mastication was extracted with acetone, was dissolved in benzene, the liquid was allowed to stand for several weeks, the solution was decanted from the insoluble residue and was fractionally precipitated by alcohol and acetone. More recently this same method has been perfected by Pummerer and Meidel, and by this means a fraction of crystallized rubber was isolated from the mother liquors of the fractional precipitation. Finally Pummerer and Koch have purified rubber by treatment with an alkali, combining the precipitation method with the use of a solution of potassium hydroxide in methanol. Later this method was modified by Pummerer and Pahl. The use of latex in place of crude rubber is the most important development in obtaining a satisfactory product. De Vries and Beumée-Nieuwland have described in detail some results obtained with fresh latex. The total-rubber obtained by the methods just described contains, according to the quality and the age of the sample of latex, from 0.1 to 0.4 per cent of nitrogen which cannot be removed by washing, even when this is exhaustive.
