Every day thousands of new cars hit the roads in China and they all travel on rubber tires. The four wheels on your car, or the 14 wheels on the trucks hurtling between Beijing and Shandong and beyond ...

INTRODUCTION THE elasticity of rubber and related substances is not of the same kind as the elasticity of steel or glass, but seems more to possess the nature of the elasticity of gases. This may ...

Scientists have developed a fibre that combines the elasticity of rubber with the strength of a metal. Researchers at North Carolina State University are behind the innovation, which has created a ...

A GOOD deal of attention has been directed lately 1 to the question of rubber-like elasticity in high polymers, and experiments based on thermodynamic arguments have emphasized, in the case of rubber ...

Chemists have made aerogels that have rubber-like elasticity and can "remember" their original shapes. Aerogels are created by replacing liquids with gases in a silica, metal oxide or polymer gel.
