Even when the subjected to more than 900 pounds of pull , a new glue-like chemical developed by General Electric Company chemists keeps the stretching silicone rubber (left) firmly bonded to the two steel caps. Under greater tension, the tough silicone rubber breaks the bond linking it to the steel yields, according to G-E Chemists.
