A reference that draws together and systematizes the body of available information on rubber products manufacturing technology, covering the compounding, mixing, calendering, extrusion, vulcanization, and manufacturing technology of a few important rubber products. Since most modern machinery and other modern manufacturing technology is self-controlling and monitored by computers, the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing, automation, and microprocessors has also been highlighted. The various developments are described by experts in the field, most of whom have extensive industrial or working experience, and their contributions are of immediate relevance to those concerned with the applications of rubber.
