Abstract: cis-1,4-Polyisoprene (IR) elastomers harden via strain-induced crystallization (SIC) when the imposed stretch (λ) exceeds the onset value of SIC (λ*). We investigate the Mode-I fast crack growth in the IR sheets as a function of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.0c03957
Abstract: In this work, well-dispersed fumed SiO2/cis-1,4-polyisoprene rubber (IR) masterbatch was first obtained through an effective wet mixing method, and the properties of the corresponding vulcanizate were studied. Before curing with activator and sulfur, IR solution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.5020776
Abstract: A cross-over in the interfacial strength, with increase in the separation rate, is observed between graphite-cis-1,4-polyisoprene and amorphous silica-cis-1,4-polyisoprene interfaces. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to compare the traction-separation characteristics of the two interfaces in… read more here.
