Description
Summary:This book, now in its 4th edition provides a central source of information of tried and tested techniques on the analysis of rubber and rubber-like polymers with an impartial assessment of their validity. <br/> Rubber products are ubiquitous and impinge daily on all aspects of life. They range from health-related and medical products through literally hundreds of components in every motor vehicle to heavy engineering products such as earthquake-resistant bearings which form the foundations of a growing number of buildings. Each product may contain up to a dozen chemicals, selected from a range of thousands, which are added in such a way that the final vulcanised article has certain pre-defined properties.<br/> This unique book continues the tradition of the earlier editions by providing a systemic analytical approach to answering virtually any query about the composition of a rubber product, its safety for a specific purpose or its reason for failing in service. <br/> It is essential reading for anyone working in the area of rubber product manufacture or commercial usage.
