How to Improve Rubber Compounds

Rubber compounding is a very complex endeavor. There are many interactions and many ways to achieve the target properties and economic goals while maintaining an acceptable tradeoff for these characteristics. This book is dedicated to providing the reader with various experimental ideas for developing better compounds and solving technical problems. In a combined effort, 20 renowned industrial experts provide a large number of diverse experimental suggestions for enhancing a specific compound property. By reviewing the suggestions in this book, the compounder will develop a better “feel” for how to best achieve a compromise or trade-off with compound properties when developing new or improving tested rubber recipes. The text is throughly illustrated with tables, graphs, diagrams and samples.
