This major new handbook describes and summarizes the state of the art in rubber technology. It includes information on properties, processes and applications for both natural and synthetic rubber products. Each chapter details data on monomer production, polymerization, molecular structure, recipes for compounds, compounding and processing, vulcanization, and properties of rubber products, in addition to chemicals for mastification, vulcanization, stabilization, reinforcing and filling, processing aids, and more. Chemists, engineers, and physicists in the rubber producing and processing industry will find especially notable the data on test results and analyses, the Table of Trade names, and the more than 1,000 references to related literature.
