Ball cores are vulcanized rubber (natural rubber crosslinked with sulfur) filled with pressurized nitrogen gas. The outer felt is wool and nylon, dyed yellow with a dye such as Basic Yellow 40. Rackets evolved from wood (which warped), to aluminium, then composites (fibreglass, Kevlar), and now carbon fibre with plastic resins. Strings transitioned from cow gut to polyester and nylon." class="wp-image-34339" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?w=3307&ssl=1 3307w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=1024%2C724&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=768%2C543&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=1536%2C1086&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=2048%2C1449&ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=370%2C262&ssl=1 370w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?resize=760%2C538&ssl=1 760w, https://i0.wp.com/www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Tennis-materials-science.png?w=2340&
