Abstract
1. Neoprene and rubber can be bonded directly, provided that: (a) the composition of the two stocks are balanced; (b) the stocks are kept warm; (c) bonding is carried out with the minimum of delay. 2. Neoprene and rubber can be bonded by other methods which give greater latitude of working: (a) by the use of a high concentration of accelerator at the interface; (b) by the use of a tie-gum mix made from butadiene rubber (preferably sodium-polymerized); (c) by the use of mixtures of Neoprene, chloro derivatives of rubber, either alone or admixed with rubber. Partially hydrochlorinated rubber is particularly useful in this direction. 3. Synthetic rubbers can be bonded one to another or to natural rubber either directly or through the medium of sodium-butadiene rubber. 4. The bonding of rubber to metal has been considered and the main methods discussed, including bonding by means of ebonite; alloys, particularly brass; cyclorubbers, Thermoprenes, and cements. 5. The bonding of synthetic rubbers to metals has been examined and a new method of bonding Neoprene to a variety of metals, including iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, and lead, has been worked out, using a solution of chlorinated rubber as bonding agent. 6. By combining the various methods described in this paper, rubber may be bonded to metals such as aluminum without brass plating.
