Current view on rubber development for Mars.

This article explores the development of rubber materials for use on Mars, specifically focusing on the challenges of creating rubber that can withstand the extreme conditions on the planet. The text discusses the issues of low temperature elasticity and resistance to UV radiation, as well as the immiscibility of different types of elastomers. It also examines the effects of rubber crystallization and outgassing on potential applications on Mars. The research aims to develop high-performance rubber for Mars applications, particularly in sealing and non-sealing applications. [Extracted from the article]
