NBR is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. It is prepared via emulsion polymerization similarly to SBR. NBR has better oil resistance than SBR and NR due to its nitrile content. It requires more softeners during compounding due to its tough nature. Common fillers, plasticizers, and curatives are used. NBR finds use in oil resistant applications and can be blended with materials like PVC and phenol formaldehyde resins to improve properties. Its vulcanizates exhibit good abrasion resistance and aging properties but low temperature flexibility depends on acrylonitrile content.
The objective of this presentation is to give an overview of rubber compounding. We will briefly focus on:
Elastomer System
Filler System
Protection system
Process Aids

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

METHOD OF PREPERATION OF POLYMER………………
• THE REACTOR IS PRESSURISED AS THE INGREDIENTS ARE
STIRRED MECHANICALLY. THE LATEX IS DISCHARGED INTO
BLOW-DOWN TANK AND HYDROQUINONE IS ADDED AS
SHORT-STOP. A DISPERSION OF 2% PBN IS THEN ADDED TO
LATEX.
• THE LATEX IS COAGULATED BY NaCl CREAMING FOLLOWED
BY H2SO4. THE CRUMB IS THEN WASHED AND DRIED AND
COMPRESSED INTO BALES.
• AS WITH SBR, LOW TEMPERATURE POLYMERISATION
RESULTS IN MORE REGULAR STRUCTURE IN POLYMER, BUT
NBR HAS MORE REGULAR STRUCTURE THAN SBR EVEN AT
HIGH TEMPERATURE POLYMERISATION. THIS IS BECAUSE IT
CAN SHOW A PREFERENCE OF 1, 4 ADDITION TO THE
BUTADIENE (END-TO-END).

COMPOUNDING…………………..
• FILLER : NBR DOES NOT CRYSTALLISE ON STRETCHING, SO GUM
STRENGTH IS POOR. SO REINFORCING FILLERS ARE REQUIRED
FOR IMPORVED TENSILE PREPERTIES. HAF/FEF/GPF ARE
COMMON BLACKS. FEF GIVES TENSILE STRENGTH TO 3000 P.S.I.
• PLASTICIZERS : PETROLEUM OILS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH
NBR. THEY CAN BE FORCIBLY MIXED, BUT BLOOM AFTER
VULCANISATION.
• SEMIPOLAR NBR NEEDS ESTER TYPE PLASTICIZERS. DIOP IS THE
BEST USE FOR HEAT RESISTANCE. FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
FLEXIBILITY, DOA (DIOCTYLADEPATE) OR DOS (DIOCTYL
SEBACATE) MAY BE ADDED. SEBACATE TYPES ARE COSTLIER.
P-8 ………………CONTD……….
10. PRIYABRATA GHOSH, IRI, KOLKATA
COMPOUNDING……………………………………
• FOR VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE, POLYPROPYLE
ADEPATE IS ADDED. DIOP IS VOLATILE AT HIGH
TEMPERATURE.
• IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SOFTENER WHICH IS COMPATIBLE
WITH THE OIL THAT THE NBR PRODUCT IS BROUGHT INTO
CONTACT WITH THAT OIL, IT WILL RESULT IN SHRINKAGE
AND HARDENING OF THE VULCANISATE DUE TO LEACHING
OUT OF THE SOFTENER USED IN THE COMPOUND.
• NBR IS TOUGH AND DRY AND DIFFICULT TO PROCESS AND
GENERALLY REQUIRES MORE SOFTENER THAN OTHER
RUBBERS (USUAL DOSES ARE 10-30 P.H.R.).
TACKIFIERS : NBR IS VERY ‘DRY’ POLYMER. FOR IMPROVED
GREEN TACK VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF NR (UPTO 5 P.H.R.) IS
ADDED. MORE ADDITION OF NR WILL INCREASE THE
SWELLING IN CONTACT LIQUIDS.
• CI RESINS ARE ALSO USED AS TACKIFIER.

PROCESSING
• NBR DOES NOT RESPONSE MARKEDLY DURING
MASTICATION. IT IS BROKEN DOWN IN TIGHT NIP OF COLD
MILL.
• MV OF 40-50 HAS GOOD FLOW PROPERTIES. FOR TUBES
FROM EXTRUDER HIGH MV (80-90) IS CHOSEN AS THE SOFT
COMPOUND MAY COLLAPSE.
• SULPHUR IS DIFFICULT TO MIX IN NBR. THAT IS WHY
SULPHUR IS MIXED AT FIRST (MC SULPHUR IS PREFERRED
FOR BETTER DISPERSION).
EXTRUSION : LARGE AMOUNT OF FILLERS AND OILS ARE
GENERALLY USED IN NBR TO CONTROL DIE-SWELL DURING
EXTRUSION. FOR BEST EXTRUSION , TERPOLYMER WITH
DIVINYL BENZENE IS USED WHICH IS PARTLY X-LINKED.
P-11 ………….CONTD…………
13. PRIYABRATA GHOSH, IRI, KOLKATA
PROCESSING………………………..
CALENDERING : HIGHER ROLL TEMPERATURE (750-800C) THAN NR
AND SBR IS REQUIRED.
MOULDING : DUE TO LACKNESS OF TACK, NBR COMPOUND HAS
‘MARRY’ PROBLEM RESULTING IN WEAK ADHESION OF
LAYERS.
o IT HAS POOR HOT TEAR STRENGTH LIKE SBR AND UNLIKE NR.
P-12
14. PRIYABRATA GHOSH, IRI, KOLKATA
VULCANISATE PROPERTIES
1) BEING RANDOM COPOLYMER, NBR COMPOUND DOES NOT
CRYSTALLISE ON STRETCHING; HENCE LOW GUM STRENGTH.
SO SMALL SIZE P.S. REINFORCING BLACKS ARE REQUIRED FOR
HIGH TENSILE PROPERTIES.
2) MODERATE COLD TEAR STRENGTH, HOT TEAR STRENGTH IS
POOR.
3) VERY GOOD ABRASION RESISTANCE.
4) AGEING PROPERTIES ARE BETTER THAN NR AND SBR. BUT NOT
USED WHERE GOOD AGEING PROPERTIES ARE REQUIRED. AT
HIGH TEMPERATURES IT HARDENS AND THEN RESINIFIES.
5) LOW TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY DEPENDS ON ACN CONTENT.
NORMALLY USED UPTO -100C, BUT CAN BE IMPROVED (UPTO -
300 – 400C) BY COMPOUNDING WITH SUITABLE PLASTICIZERS
(DOA, DOS).

6) OIL RESISTANCE IS EXCELLENT, HIGHER WITH HIGHER ACN
CONTENT. BY INCREASED ACN CONTENT, OIL RESISTANCE,
TENSILE PROPERTIES, HARDNESS AND ABRASION

DECREASED.
7) BEING SEMI-POLAR POLYMER, NBR IS SEMI-CONDUCTOR.

SEVERAL MINUTES, AND TAKEN OUT AND COOLED..
• THEN IT IS PUT IN A COOL MIXER TO ADD REST OF THE

SPECIAL MIXING TECHNIQUE :
THE USUAL METHOD IS TO MAKE A WET PREMIX OF PVC AND
PLASTICIZER IN A CONVENTIONAL VESSEL FOR 24 HOURS IN

PF RESINS ARE THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS AND ARE
THERMOVISCOUS IN POWDER FORM. THEY CAN BE X-
LINKED BY HEATING WITH 8% HEXAMINE
(HEXAMETHYLENE TETRAMINE).
NBR IS TOUGH POLYMER AND NEEDS HIGH AMOUNT OF
PLASTICIZER. PF RESIN ITSELF BEHAVES AS PLASTICIZER
AND TACKIFIER.
BUT DURING VULCANISATION IT X-LINKS AND FORM A
HARD RESINOUS REINFORCING MATERIAL. THE
SOFTENING POINT OF THIS RESIN IS ABOUT 800-900C, BUT IT
X-LINKS WITH HEXAMINE AT 1300C.
