Elastomer processing

Chemists and engineers working on further development and optimization of rubber compounds need characteristic values for large numbers of compound ingredients, as well as information about how these ingredients influence the processing operation and the properties of the vulcanized product. Here, these characteristic values and their functional correlations are combined, offering a fundamental tool for the rubber engineer and processor. The equations and calculation methods set out in this book, together with the various product tables, can be used to calculate influences on the property profile of compound systems.
