RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF HI-TEMPERATURE NUCLEAR RADIATION RESISTANT ELASTOMERS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2 for October 1 to October 31, 1957 January 20 to March 15, 1958

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4326663
Elastomers were prepared, via various contact catalysts, which have fair to excellent gum and vulcanized tensile properties. Samples are to be evaluated for radiation stability in comparison with GR-S, natural rubber, and polyethylene. The polymers were designed to show the effect of unsaturation, methyl groups, and phenyl groups on the linear polymethylene chain. Samples prepared for irradiation are discussed.
