- Title
Material morphology and electrical resistivity differences in EPDM rubbers.

- Abstract
The article presents a study which determined the morphology and electrical resistivity differences in ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubbers. It states that electrical resistance anomalies in EPDM gaskets were due to zinc-enriched surface sublayers in the sulfur cured rubber material. Gasket over-compression was found to cause morphological changes on the gasket surfaces. Zinc oxide whiskers and cones were found on the pin side of the gaskets in contact with a molded plastic surface.
