Abstract Although the practice of bonding rubber to metal has been in use for many years, no theories appear to have been advanced which explain adequately the mechanism of bonding. It has been stated that the brass bond between rubber and metal functions through chemical linkages, but this can only be regarded as tentative and has yet to be proved. No attempt has been made to find out how ebonite functions as a bonding medium or the more recently discovered derivatives of rubber, such as sulfonated rubber, chlorinated rubber, and rubber hydrohalides. Until it is properly elucidated just how bonding agents do act, further logical development of improved bonding media cannot be pursued. It is intended in this paper to show how the rubber-metal bond behaves at subnormal temperatures and how a low temperature technique may be used for studying the mechanism of bonding. The effect of low temperatures on the tensile strength and associated properties of vulcanized rubber, such as hardness, permanent set, flexibility, resilience and flexing, has been dealt with fairly comprehensively in the literature. Progressive reduction in temperature leads to only a moderate increase, for example, in tensile strength, until the point is reached at which the rubber stiffens and freezes, when a marked increase occurs. Examination of a brass-bonded unit at low temperatures revealed that the graph obtained for bond strength was very similar in slope and character to that for tensile strength. The similarity is illustrated by the data in Table 1 and in Figure 1.

Abstract 1. By means of a new apparatus which is described, it is possible to estimate the hardness of vulcanized rubber at low temperatures. 2. The hardness of rubber-sulfur vulcanizates increases hyperbolically with lowering of temperature and they become “frozen” and hard at −50° C. 3. Since ordinary softening agents having high viscosities solidify at −30° to −40° C., these are unsuitable for softening rubber to be exposed to temperatures below this range. 4. Softening agents which do not solidify at −50° C. are among those ordinarily used as solvents, and they have very low viscosities. Though their effect on the hardness of rubber at −50° C. is small when they are used in small percentages, they prevent the freezing of rubber at −50° C. when large proportions are used. They are, however, of no practical value, since they decrease the tensile strength of rubber. 5. Vulcanized rubber containing 30 per cent of reclaimed rubber also froze to a hard product at −50° C. 6. The relation between temperature and hardness of rubber vulcanized with organic accelerators is the same as that in the case of rubber vulcanized with sulfur alone.

Dormoats are derivatives of crosses between Avena sativa L. and A. fatua L., designed to be sown in the fall to germinate the following spring. Strains vary in levels of seed dormancy at harvest and in their rates of after-ripening in dry storage. Germination of the seeds is stimulated by gibberellic acid. Embryos isolated from dormant seeds exhibit no dormancy but their germination is prevented by abscisic acid. Low temperatures (ca. 7 C) stimulate germination to different levels in various strains. Seeds enter a secondary dormancy when they fail to germinate in the imbibed state due to primary domancy. Seeds with secondary dormancy are not stimulated to germinate by low temperatures until partial after-ripening of the seeds in the dry state has occurred, but germination is stimulated by gibberellic acid without after-ripening. Secondary dormancy is proposed as a factor in the maintenance of undergerminated seed in the soil from fall planting into winter.

Common swelling agents used in the mechano-chemical rubber devulcanization process usually require high temperatures to achieve satisfactory swelling effects, which results in severe production of pollutants and reduces the selectivity of bond scissions. This work presents an environmentally friendly swelling agent, terpinene, which can swell the rubber crosslink structures at low temperatures. Both a rubber swelling experiment and a rubber reclaiming experiment with a mechano-chemical devulcanization method are conducted to explore the swelling effects of terpinene. After soaking in terpinene at 60 °C for 90 min, the length elongation of the rubber sample reaches 1.55, which is much higher than that in naphthenic oil and is comparable to that in toluene. When adding 3 phr of terpinene for every 100 phr of waste rubber during the reclaiming process, the bond scissions exhibit high selectivity. After revulcanization, the reclaimed rubbers have a tensile strength of 17 MPa and a breaking elongation of 400%. Consequently, the application of terpinene as the swelling agent in the LTMD method can greatly improve the properties of reclaimed rubbers, thereby enhancing the dual value for the economy and environment.

Vinyl benzoate (VB series) and trans-stilbene (SB series) were added onto polyurethane (PU) via graft polymerization, and the spectroscopic, thermal, tensile, shape memory, and low-temperature flexibility properties of the resulting polymers were compared with those of unmodified PU. The melting temperature ( Tm) and glass transition temperature ( Tg) of the soft segments are not significantly different for the VB and SB series compared with unmodified PU. The tensile strengths of the VB and SB series sharply increase with increasing vinyl polymer content, whereas the control series does not exhibit an increase in tensile strength. The VB series exhibits excellent shape recovery at 10℃ compared with unmodified PU, and the shape recovery of the SB series remains above 90% at 45℃. The shape retention values of the VB (−45℃) and SB series (–25℃) are not less than 90%. The selected PUs demonstrate better flexibilities at extremely low temperatures compared with unmodified PU. Therefore, the graft polymerization of vinyl benzoate or trans-stilbene onto PU improves the tensile strength, shape recovery at low temperatures, and low-temperature flexibility of the polymer without decreasing the tensile strain or shape retention.

Abstract The tensile strengths of crystallized crude rubber and vulcanized rubber are remarkably different from each other at room temperature, but are found to be almost the same at the temperature of liquid air. By assuming that the tensile strength of crystallized rubber at this low temperature is entirely due to its chain molecules, the forced needed to break a chain molecule of rubber at its weakest point is estimated.

N-methyl-N-allylpyrrolidinium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (PYR1ATFSI) with substantial supercooling behavior is synthesized to develop low temperature electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. Additive fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in LiTFSI/PYR1ATFSI/EC/PC/EMC is found that it can reduce the freezing point. LiFePO4/Li coin cells with the FEC-PYR1ATFSI electrolyte exhibit good capacity retention, reversible cycling behavior at low temperatures. The good performance can be attributed to the decrease in the freezing point and the polarization of the composite electrolyte.

The low-temperature fluorescence spectrum of purified vapour-grown anthracene single crystals is presented and the free-exciton emission distinguished from a number of defect or impurity bands present even in the purest crystals. In assigning the observed bands the symmetry of the active vibrations and the origin of background fluorescence and deformation bands are discussed. The phonon structure in the region of the fluorescence origin was found to be almost completely b-polarized. Emission of electronic origin (25103 cm-1) was too weak to be observed. Polarization ratios of the principal vibronio bands at 5.6 K are given.
