Abstract
Samples of natural rubber were vulcanized in the presence of n-decane, decalin and o-chlorobenzene. The diluents were then removed, and the force-extension characteristics of the samples studied over the range 1·1 < α < 2·0. The elastic behaviour of the solution-vulcanized elastomers appear to be in much closer agreement with the statistical theory of elasticity than is the case for vulcanizates prepared in the dry state.
