Abstract The present investigation shows that no direct relation exists between either combined sulfur or density and the degree of vulcanization. It is not probable that the various changes in physical properties of the rubber during vulcanization are due to changes in the polymeric state involving a change in primary valence forces. Neither is it apparent in what manner combination of sulfur has contributed directly to the change in physical properties of the rubber. It is probable that the change in physical state is due to a change in manner or degree of aggregation of the rubber molecules.

Abstract In this study, the variation of thermal conductivity and density of 15 wt.-% boric acid - 85 wt.-% sepiolite, 30 wt.-% boric acid - 30 wt.-% sepiolite - 40 wt.-% perlite, 30 wt.-% boric acid - 30 wt.-% cordierite - 40 wt.-% perlite and 30 wt.-% boric acid - 30 wt.-% alumina - 40 wt.-% perlite compositions at 700 °C and 900 °C sintering temperatures were investigated. The results show that increasing the amount of boric acid and decreasing the sintering temperature lead to an improvement in thermal insulation properties. There is a direct relation between the thermal conductivity and density of the specimens. Both physical properties change with a change in the sintering temperature and the composition characteristics. Minimum thermal conductivity has been observed in a specimen consisting of 30 wt.-% boric acid - 30 wt.-% alumina - 40 wt.-% perlite.

Abstract No direct evidence exists to support the sulfide linkage theory of vulcanization, which assumes that cross-linking of the molecules with sulfur would retain the elasticity and decrease the plasticity of the rubber. The following facts do not favor the sulfide linkage theory of vulcanization : (1) Vulcanized rubber can be peptized under conditions which do not appear to rupture a sulfide linkage. (2) No direct relation exists between the physical properties of vulcanized rubber and the amount of combined sulfur. (3) No direct relation exists between the ease of peptization and the physical properties of the vulcanizate. (4) Combined sulfur appears to assist the solvation of rubber. Rubber vulcanized with thiuram disulfides in the absence of free sulfur has poor physical properties but peptizes with difficulty. An increase in combined sulfur without a corresponding improvement in physical properties assists solvation. (5) Rubber having the best physical properties is also the most heterogeneous with respect to sulfur. The sulfide linkage theory would suggest that an even distribution of sulfur would produce the best physical properties. (6) Fractions of peptized vulcanizates, on evaporation of their solutions, leave insoluble vulcanized films, which shows that linkage by means of primary forces is unnecessary for producing the vulcanized condition.

For studying physical properties of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber(NBR) stator of Electrical Submersible-motor-driven Progressive Cavity Pumping (ESPCP) with oil erosion, two different formulations of NBR soaked in crude oil at 90 °C for 168h. Variation rule with time of rubber quality, hardness, volume, tensile strength and elongation rate are got. The results show that erosion in the same temperature, rubber quality increase rapidly in the first 24h, increase slowly down in 24~168h. Rubber hardness does not change significantly soaked within 168h. Rubber volume change obviously in the first 72h and change slowly in 72~168h. In the first 96h, the rubber's tensile strength and elongation rate change quickly, slowly changes in 96~168h. The study has a certain reference of design of ESPCP stator under certain operating conditions.

Last update importance of the study of the physical condition of soils Precarpathians. It was found that the physical properties of soils are among the earliest human subject affected by agricultural use. These theoretical and practical areas as greening research, optimization of the use should be of paramount importance in the monitoring system of soil Ukraine. Key words: physical state of the soils, Precarpathians, ecology, soils monitoring.


Gluten, as ordinarily prepared by washing wheat flour in tap water, forms a coherent stringy mass insoluble in water. It consists essentially of a mixture of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, but even when very thoroughly washed it always includes some starch. Gliadin, which forms rather more than half of the total protein, is soluble in dilute alcohol, and gives to the gluten its peculiar physical properties. The power which dough possesses of retaining the gas formed during fermentation is due to the tenacity and ductility of gluten. Therefore, the property of forming a light and well-shaped loaf, which is so variable a feature of different flours, is determined by the amount and the physical state of the contained gluten.

Recently experimental data have been obtained on lunar radio emission which enable one to solve the problem as to which model of structure for its upper layer corresponds to reality: single layer (homogeneous structure of the covering) or a widely distributed two-layer-dust cover [1]. They also enable one to draw more definite conclusions as to the physical properties, thermal conditions, and structure of lunar material.

Abstract WANDO belongs to that class of oil-hardening tool steels known as non-deforming steels. It will develop full hardness on oil quenching from a relatively low temperature with minimum volume change, hence non-deforming. It is a general-purpose tool and die steel. Among its many applications are dies for many purposes, shear blades, taps and reamers. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-354. Producer or source: Cyclops Corporation.

Recently, the cracks of concrete by drying shrinkage become one of the problems in the construction industry in Japan. The drying shrinkage decreases when the concrete is produced with limestone aggregate. However, it is not clear why the drying shrinkage is decreased. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relation between the drying shrinkage of concrete and the limestone aggregate. In this study, the experiments about the strength, elasticity and drying shrinkage of concrete and the physical properties and shrinkage of coarse aggregates were conducted. It is thought that the volume change of aggregates affects directly the drying shrinkage in concrete.

Epoxidised natural rubber, ENR has emerged as a sustainable material for many applications due to its unique properties. This study sets out to investigate the effects of ENR on the oil resistance property of nitrile rubber, NBR composites used for safety footwear application. Blends of NBR/ENR i.e. 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40 and 50/50 were prepared and tested for their oil resistance property and other physical properties such as hardness, tensile properties and abrasion loss. Results showed that varying the amount of ENR did not significantly affect the hardness and tensile properties of the composites. Nonetheless, it was found that ENR content highly influences the abrasion loss of the composites in which the abrasion resistance decreased with further addition of ENR contents. Despite the increase in oil swelling of the composites with increasing ENR content, the oil swelling values are considered low (< 5% volume change), indicating superior oil resistance property of the composites. These results confirm the possibility of ENR as a sustainable material for the production of eco-friendly composites with high oil resistance property for the footwear industry.

One of the main objectives of crop establishment is adjustment of physical properties of soil, on which indicators of soil fertility as well as economic appreciation of the resulting yield depend. During 2014–2016 yield of corn and sorghum was observed in semi‑operational experiments of ZD Budišov in relation to the quantity of the applied digestate and simultaneously, the following physical properties of soil were analysed: porosity, compaction and soil structure. After the application of digestate the porosity and minimal air capacity decreased, and reduced bulk density increased. Soil structure was affected negatively too. Overall, a trend of degradation of physical state of soil in variant with doubled dose of applied digestate was registered. Yields were always higher in variants with digestate due to a higher supply of higher amount of nutrients. Results of this observation indicate that crop yields may be higher but at the same time physical properties of soil may be impaired which may, while increasing doses of digestate, lead to irreversible degradation of soil.
