Effect of solvent environments on the swelling behavior of elastomers commonly used in weapon components
Conference

OSTI ID:7108727
The equilibrium swelling of a number of elastomeric seals, commonly used in weapon components, was determined after they were exposed to a saturated solvent environment. The dimensional stability of these elastomers in the solvents varied considerably. Reasons for this are discussed and a method by which one may estimate the degree of swelling that these elastomers will undergo in a solvent environment is presented. 5 refs.
