Abstract
The recovery of silicone oβrings after 23% compression at room temperature (22Β°C) was determined. Two sets of experiments were performed. To determine the effect of temperature on resiliency, the recovery of oβrings that had been compressed for 24 h at room temperature was measured at both 22Β°C and β7Β°C. To determine the effect of storage under compression on resiliency, the recovery at 22Β°C of oβrings compressed at room temperature for 6 months or 1 year was compared with those compressed for 24 h. In addition, the effect of a silicone lubricant on the recovery of the oβrings was determined. The initial room temperature recovery of silicone oβrings after being compressed for 6 months is somewhat slower than those compressed for 24 h. There is very little change in the recovery of the oβrings compressed for 1 year compared with those compressed for 6 months. Recovery after 24 h of compression is slower at β7Β°C than at 22Β°C. Silicone oil lubricant appears to aid recovery after 24 h of compression but has little effect after 6 months or 1 year of compression. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
