“…Variation of molecular weight was observed during reaction between rubber and ozone in carbon tetrachloride as shown in Figure 2. Razmovskii et al (56) studies the degradation of cis-1,4-polybutadiene (SKD) rubber solution in octane in the presence of 1 x 10 -5 to 8 x10 -5 mol/L O 3 at -26 to +48°C, proceeds via isomerisation and dimerisation of RCHO 2 -ion intermediate and results in the formation of ozonides. The degradation of SKD rubber obeys the Arrhenius equation and the activation energy of degradation of SKD rubber in the presence of ozone is 9.6 ± 1.4 kJ/mol.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
