Modeling the degradation of natural rubber male condoms
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2010AbstractMost condom manufacturers claim a 5 year shelf‐life for their products; however, condoms can decay much more rapidly than the reported shelf‐life would suggest, because of the uncontrolled storage conditions. For this reason, development of mathematical model to predict condom shelf‐life as a function of storage conditions can be very useful ...
