Abstract Bound rubber (BdR) is considered as a measure of the filler–polymer interaction in rubber compounds. The variation of the BdR content with storage time was studied in chlorobutyl compounds filled with fillers like carbon black, carbon–silica dual phase filler (CSDPf), silica, and nanoclays. The effect of the…

The excitation energies of small ZnS nanoclusters characterized in previous studies have been calculated using TDDFT. The relativistic pseudopotentials of Stevens et al have been used, including Zn 4s(2) electrons and S 3s(2) and 3p(4) electrons as valence electrons. Results obtained with these pseudopotentials are co…

Abstract There has been a widely held assumption that the solid‐state polymerization (SSP) rate of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) decreases with increasing crystallinity. Several published articles that purported to prove this assumption were based on faulty experiments. Therefore, a proper experimental procedure…
