Abstract
, respectively. They also exhibited excellent compressive resistance. Moreover, i-SIS(Ba) was demonstrated to have a higher impact resistance, that is, more protective of a material being covered compared to covering by typical high-strength glass fiber-reinforced plastic. As such elastomers can be produced at an industrial scale, they have great market potential as next-generation elastomeric materials.
