This book is a fundamental tool for chemists working in the field of compounding, using calculation functions, evaluation methods, and tables of material characteristics. The equations an...

The successful manufacture of engineered rubber products is complicated. It involves different disciplines, materials, and types and designs of equipment. Problems sometimes occur because of less-t...

This book covers the fatigue testing of specimens, curve fitting of equations to the test data, and the use of such equations in life prediction. Earlier chapters are background in the nature of ru...

Rubber compounding is a very complex endeavor. There are many interactions and many ways to achieve the target properties and economic goals while maintaining an acceptable trade-off for these char...

This useful reference book provides practical information on the applied technology, art, and science of rubber materials for day-to-day use by designers, technicians, mechanical and sales engineer...

This book deals with all aspects of rubber processing; mixing, milling, calendering, extrusion and molding, and also testing and specification of raw materials, mixed compound, and end products. It...

This book covers the development of the technology and presents the theoretical and experimental aspects of rubber processing and engineering, including flow simulation.

Thermoplastic elastomers are one of the fastest growing material groups. They can be processed like thermoplastics but their properties are close to those of vulcanized elastomers. New products, ne...

The object of this book is to provide a short introduction and overview of this rapidly changing field.

"There is certainly no one who is better positioned to...

It is a characteristic of the rubber industry that compounds are usually not bought from a supplier but compounded in an in-house mixing facility. The different mixing technologies add yet another ...
