Measurements of Young's modulus as a function of pressure up to 10 000 bars at 20°C show that the glass-transition temperature in natural and synthetic rubbers is raised by pressure. For natural gum rubber, the transition occurs at 5100 bars at 20°C and Young's modulus increases 1000-fold on passing through the transition.
