Abstract The existence of an equilibrium melting temperature, T0m, at 28 ± 1°, for unstretched natural rubber has been established, using dilatometric methods. The lower melting temperatures previously observed are a consequence of the low temperatures of crystallization and the rapid heating rates employed. From melting point studies of mixtures of the polymer with low molecular-weight diluents, the heat of fusion per repeating unit, ΔHu has been evaluated as 15.3 ± 0.5 cal./g. The values of ΔHu and T0m have then been combined with data of other workers to obtain the following information concerning natural rubber: (1) The variation of melting temperature with applied hydrostatic pressure has been calculated from the Clapeyron equation to be 0.0465° C/atm. (2) The degree of erystallinity resulting from maintaining a sample at 0° until the rate of crystallization is negligible has been calculated, by three independent methods, to be in the range 26 to 31 per cent. (3) Analysis of the stress-strain-temperature relationship has indicated that crystallization is the cause of the large internal energy changes that are observed at relatively high elongations.

Abstract The melting behavior and x-ray diffraction patterns of four different samples of stark rubber have been investigated. The melting temperatures, 39° to 45.5° C, are substantially higher than that observed for natural rubber crystallized by cooling. The x-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the crystallites in stark rubber are oriented. This observation can explain the higher melting temperatures. Thus, the previous assignment of an equilibrium melting temperature, 28° (±1°) C, to unoriented crystalline natural rubber is shown to be appropriate. Several different methods that have been used successfully in preparing stark rubber under controlled conditions in the laboratory are outlined.
