This revised and expanded single-source reference analyzes all compounding material classes of dry rubber compounds, such as carbon blacks, platicizers and age resisters, integrating detailed information on how elastomers are built up. The work provides practical compounding tips on how to avoid oil or antioxidant bloom, how to adjust electrical conductivity and how to meet volume swell requirements.;This second edition: provides material on government regulations regarding rubber waste; presents current insights into the fast-growing polymer technology of thermoplastic elastomers; discusses the ramifications of the commercial availability of epoxidized natural rubber; and offers a comprehensive tabular chart on the properties of polymers.
A reference for chemists, engineers, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students, analyzing all compounding material classes of dry rubber compounds such as carbon blacks, plasticizers, and age resisters and nearly all the rubberlike polymers currently used in industry. The second edition considers new regulations regarding rubber waste, the polymer technology of thermoplastic elastomers, the commercial availability of epoxidized natural rubber, and practical measures to avoid oil or antioxidant bloom. The date of the first edition is not noted. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
