Abstract

The kinetics of growth of cracks on synthetic polyisoprene SKI-3 rubber vulcanizates in ozone has been studied by optical microscopy. The mean value of crack surface is used as a measure of the degree of cracking. The growth of crack surface comprises two stages; namely, a relatively slow one at the beginning of the process and a faster one which proceeds at a constant rate. Empirical dependences which describe this process at various ozone concentrations are suggested. A physical interpretation of the constants in these expressions is presented.
