Abstract

Abstract Measurements are described of the changes of volume accompanying crystallization in filled vulcanized natural rubber, and of the corresponding relaxation of stress in extended test-pieces. The observed changes in the rate of crystallization and relaxation of stress are attributed to the reduction in mobility of the rubber molecules in the neighborhood of foreign particles and to the effective higher orientation of some elements of the rubber matrix when the filled vulcanizate is subjected to simple extension.
