Key Points

To determine cohesive energy density values for diverse vulcanized rubbers by quantifying equilibrium swelling behavior across varied organic liquids.
Crosslinked elastomer specimens were immersed into diverse series of organic solvents until establishing equilibrium swelling.
Swelling ratios were measured gravimetrically and evaluated in relation to solvent cohesive energy parameters to map absorption curves.
Maximum swelling consistently occurs when the solvent cohesive energy density aligns with that of the rubber network.
Estimated cohesive energy density values quantitatively reflect differences in polar forces and backbone interactions across synthetic and natural rubbers.
