An Introduction to Rubber Technology is the ideal basic guide for anyone who is about to start
working with rubber. This handbook has information about every aspect of using rubber from
the initial selection of the rubber compound to the measurement of its physical properties. A
brief history of the uses of natural and synthetic rubber is included but the bulk of the book
concentrates on the compounding and processing of rubber to produce rubber products.
The different types of rubbers and their properties are described and a detailed description of
how to formulate rubber compounds including the use of additives, fillers, antioxidants and
plasticisers is given. There are also chapters on how to process rubber and how to test both
cured and uncured rubber. The chemistry, physics and engineering properties of rubber are
described and how they relate to the final rubber compound is explained. The final chapter
covers the preparation and use of castable polyurethanes. Each chapter is fully referenced and
also includes an extensive bibliography.
This book will be invaluable to anyone who is seeking basic information about rubber technology
but it will also appeal to engineers, purchasing agents, rubber chemists and students who need
an introductory text in the subject.
