Patent ID: 8232363

Claim:
A method of forming an elastomeric article of manufacture comprising; a. providing polymers having a general structure of formula 1, wherein the polymer comprises at least one pendent vinyl group, wherein the sum of m and n is x, x ranges from 0 to about 12000, y ranges from 0 to about 500, and z ranges from 0 to about 500, the sum of x, y, and z is at least 1, R 1 -R 8 are each independently CH 3 , C 6 H 5 or CH═CH 2 , if m is greater than zero, at least one of R 4 or R 5 must be CH═CH 2 , and wherein more than four of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 6 , R 7 , or R 8 are CH═CH 2 ; b. providing a cross-linker selected from a nonpolymeric cross-linker or a hydride terminated polymeric cross-linker; c. providing a catalyst; d. combining said polymer, said cross-linker and said catalyst to form a polymeric mixture; and e. curing said polymeric mixture; wherein at least a portion of said elastomeric article of manufacture is formed.
