Schneider, R. E.; Hartzel, L. W.

A series of boron-filled vinyl copolymer elastomer (VCE) and Viton A fluoroelastomer formulations was prepared and the physical characteristics of the cured formulations determined. Their weight loss on heating to 300/sup 0/C, as determined by two different analytical methods, did not agree. The presence of up to 0.23 percent boric acid in the boron powders used to fill a standard boron-filled VCE elastomer did not appear to affect the physical characteristics of the cured formulation. 7 tables.
