General Information: Elastomers |
||
Elastomers is the subclass of polymers with rubberlike properties. It has at least an elongation of several hundreds percents. The deformation is fully reversable without damage. Rubber keeps constant volume during deformation. Conventional rubbers should be vulcanised to keep shape. Rubbers have in general superb resistance against wear and abrasion. In combination with its elastic behaviour it is the reason that it finds widespread application for seals, gaskets, o-rings and tyres. Specific elastomers have been developed for special purposes, like resistance to particular fluids. |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
