A setup and protocol was developed to investigate and quantify the cooling effect of the rubbers during stretching and releasing cycles. The results show that for all five rubbers, the mechanical response of the stress–strain curve depends on the maximum loading. This is previously studied and named as Mullins effect.
There are several thermal properties that are relevant to various types of rubber: Thermal Conductivity: This is the material’s ability to transfer heat. Materials with high thermal conductivity can conduct heat efficiently, while those with low thermal conductivity are good insulators, resisting the flow of heat.
Heat Resistance: This is a broader term that encompasses all the above properties and indicates how well materials can withstand exposure to high temperatures without degrading or losing its functionality. Butyl rubber, a synthetic rubber, is predominantly made up of isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene.
Natural rubber is demonstrated to still have the best performance and highest Coefficient Of Performance within the proposed testing protocol. The temperature difference of the stretching stage is higher than that of the recovery stage. We discuss ways to avoid such non-symmetrical behaviors.
Although thermodynamic studies of rubber elastomers can be traced back to 1859 (Gough-Joule effect) , few people have so far put it into practice. Dart et al. explored the influence of rapid stretching on the temperature rise of natural rubber and synthetic rubber in 1942.
In this experiment, the cooling occurs essentially by natural convection, so the time needed to cool the rubber is longer, ∼ 100 s. Comparing the cooling time and the heating time, it is obvious that the heating time is longer than the cooling time, this will be discussed later.

thermal energy can be stored in two ways. Sensible heat storage stands for storage of heat by increasing the temperature of the storage material. By contrast, latent heat storage means the storage of energy when a material changes phase from one to another, most commonly from solid to liquid. Latent heat storage is generally considered as the most
7 out of the 9 types of energy can be stored, namely gravitational potential energy, nuclear energy, kinetic energy, elastic potential energy, heat energy, chemical energy and electrical energy. Now, there are 7 main stores of energy.
At the same time, rubbers are inherently materials with heat-insulating properties. Therefore, in continuous operation of quarry dump trucks, especially when loaded and at high speed, tires experience intense low-frequency mechanical deformations resulting in their heating.

We have seen in previous chapters that energy is one of the fundamental concepts of physics. Heat is a type of energy transfer that is caused by a temperature difference, and it can change the temperature of an object. As we learned earlier in this chapter, heat transfer is the movement of energy from one place or material to another as a result of a difference in temperature.

The first and second laws of thermodynamics can describe the heat build-up phenomena of rubbery materials during deformation. When the force is applied on rubber specimen, the rubber starts to deform and the work is stored as heat inside rubber. The temperature increase due to deformation can be scaled by the heat capacity as a ...

When you stretch them, the rubber band''s polymers stretch into ordered chains because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion. Since we''re doing the work to stretch the rubber band and put those polymers in order we are adding energy to the rubber band. That extra energy causes the molecules to move more rapidly – giving off heat.
