Nitrile Rubber (Buna-N)
At IG Farben in 1930 Erich Konrad and Eduard Tschunkur copolymerised butadiene with acrylonitrile. The nitrile group makes the chain polar, so oil and petrol - which are not - stay out. Sold as Buna N, nitrile rubber became the standard material for oil seals, fuel hoses and, much later, disposable gloves.
**US 1,973,000**, "Rubber like masses from butadiene hydrocarbons and polymerizable nitriles", Konrad and Tschunkur, assigned to IG Farbenindustrie, filed 20. April 1931, granted 11. September 1934. It requires the butadiene to be more than about 60 % by weight of the mix.
**You build the part nitrile made universal: an O-ring seal.** Turn two plugs with sized grooves, close a clear pipe with them, and leave it under water overnight.

Cut 150 mm of clear PVC pipe and deburr both ends. Measure the bore at three angles and average. Pick a nitrile O-ring about 3 mm thick whose inside diameter is a little under bore minus 5 mm.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** a butadiene hydrocarbon (over about 60 % by weight) polymerised with a polymerisable nitrile, by heating or in emulsion. **Modern build (derived):** commercial NBR O-rings in an acetal gland.
Wartime Germany needed a rubber that fuel could not ruin, and nitrile answered it. More nitrile in the chain means more oil resistance and less flexibility in the cold. Its limits: ozone and sunlight crack it, and it swells in brake fluid and many solvents.
