The study of microstructural network and damage mechanism of polymer and rubber, although deceptively simple, involves a complex interplay between material properties and service conditions. So, the study of the texture, deformation and the failure of rubber specimens are of considerable practical interest. In fact, the occurrence of defects such as the initiation and the growth of cavitations in rubber specimens in working conditions is an important problem. These deal with the improvement of microstructure (for delaying instability) in order to obtain a higher service capacity. The scope of the present paper is, therefore, to evaluate principal mechanisms, in-situ observation of damage at mesoscopic, microscopic and macroscopic levels by using X-ray computed tomography (CT) installed in the ITMA research centre for confirming the behaviour of natural rubber (NR) and styrene butyl rubber (SBR) specimens used in automotive and aeronautical fields.
