Sv. Usachev et al., Preparation of chemically cross-linked swollen gels from spent rubbers andtheir use as components of rubber stocks, RUS J AP CH, 74(3), 2001, pp. 483-488
A study was made of cross-linking of gelatinous compositions to obtain prod
ucts classed with gels of the first type in which a part of the plasticizer
is firmly retained by the gel structure of the elastomer. The elastic-hyst
eresis properties of the rubbers were studied.
