Current Topics in Elastomers Research
provides
the first comprehensive overview of rubber research activities from
around the world. Divided into seven sections, this seminal work begins
with a general introduction before presenting the chemistry and
structure-property relationships of a variety of new materials and
composites. The second section covers the most important rubber
ingredients along with the current thinking on their mechanism of
action.
Two important new characterization techniques, 3D-TEM and
AFM, are evaluated in the third section, while the fourth considers the
physics and engineering aspects of elastomers, including reinforcement
mechanisms, viscoelastic properties, fatigue life, abrasion, adhesion,
rheology, mixing and processing, and the effects of time, temperature
and fluids. The fifth section pays respect to the tire, a driving
impetus for research and one of the major applications of rubber.
Finally, the book includes two chapters on eco-friendly technology and
recycling, perhaps the most important engineering topic in this age of
globalization and environmental responsibility.
Current Topics in Elastomers Research is
a complete review of current elastomers research and applications, compiling once-guarded knowledge and outlining the future directions of the field.
