Paul Getty Trust A natural hydrocarbon polymer formed from the resinous latex of trees of the Hevea and Parthenium genera. To prepare natural rubber, the latex is collected from a cut in the bark, precipitated with acid, then washed and dried. Rubber is very elastic and was used for bowls, shoe soles, adhesives, and bouncy balls. However, when cooled, rubber becomes brittle and when warmed it becomes sweaty and tacky. Prior to the development of synthetic resins, unvulcanized rubber was used for adhesive tapes and crepe shoe soles. In 1839, Charles Goodyear discovered that rubber can be hardened with the vulcanization process in which sulfur is used to initiate crosslinking of the hydrocarbon strands. Higher sulfur content produces a harder, denser material. Vulcanized rubber is used to make rubber bands, foams, fabric coatings, small objects, combs, pens, and musical instruments. Vulcanized rubber, however, will emit sulfur when exposed to light or heat causing the rubber to degrade and become brittle. Since the 19th century, small amounts of wax have been added to the rubber during vulcanization. The wax slowly migrates to the surface and provides a thin layer of protection from oxidation. The J.

Relation to other hierarchies: In the Information Forms hierarchy are terms for items that communicate by visual, nonverbal means, but whose purpose is primarily informational (e.g., "maps"). Terms for decorative elements are in the Design Elements hierarchy (e.g., "scrollwork") and the Components hierarchy (e.g., "acroteria"); architectural forms that are primarily structural and secondarily sculptural (e.g., "caryatids") also appear in Components. Most terms used to create works are in the Materials hierarchy (e.g., "canvas"), although if found objects are used (e.g., "dinner plates"), these are considered components of the work, not materials. Terms for the methods used to create a work (e.g., "wet collodion process," "carving") are in the Processes and Techniques hierarchy. The J.

When starch is heated, the granules swell and form a thick, tacky jelly upon cooling. Starchy adhesives have been used since at least 3500 BCE in Egypt. More recently starch has been used for sizing fabric, canvas, and paper, as an adhesive for paper cartons, bottle labels, gummed tape, and envelopes.

Starch is primarily obtained from rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, cassava (tapioca), sago, and arrowroot.

When starch is heated, the granules swell and form a thick, tacky jelly upon cooling. Starchy adhesives have been used since at least 3500 BCE in Egypt. More recently starch has been used for sizing fabric, canvas, and paper, as an adhesive for paper cartons, bottle labels, gummed tape, and envelopes. Soluble starch has been used for priming canvas and as a binder in watercolor paints. Starch is sensitive to moisture and biodegradation. Starchy paste films become brittle with age.

To prepare natural rubber, the latex is collected from a cut in the bark, precipitated with acid, then washed and dried. Rubber is very elastic and was used for bowls, shoe soles, adhesives, and bouncy balls. However, when cooled, rubber becomes brittle and when warmed it becomes sweaty and tacky. Prior to the development of synthetic resins, unvulcanized rubber was used for adhesive tapes and crepe shoe soles. In 1839, Charles Goodyear discovered that rubber can be hardened with the vulcanization process in which sulfur is used to initiate crosslinking of the hydrocarbon strands. Higher sulfur content produces a harder, denser material. Vulcanized rubber is used to make rubber bands, foams, fabric coatings, small objects, combs, pens, and musical instruments. Vulcanized rubber, however, will emit sulfur when exposed to light or heat causing the rubber to degrade and become brittle. Since the 19th century, small amounts of wax have been added to the rubber during vulcanization. The wax slowly migrates to the surface and provides a thin layer of protection from oxidation. rubber InC In Copyright CC00615 basket weave Weaving technique with a simple criss-cross checkerboard pattern in which two or more filling yarns, or a single heavier yarn, pass over and under two or more warp yarns.
