Science and Technology of Rubber

Science and Technology of Rubber, Second Edition provides a general survey of elastomers and an examination of rubberlike elasticity, with an emphasis on a unified treatment ranging from physical theory to final applications. Researchers in polymer science and engineering fields will find coverage of recent advances, unsolved problems and projections, and processing.

• Expanded coverage
• Updated chapters featuring substantially more information
• A unified treatment of the subject, with comprehensive coverage ranging from chemical aspects such as elastomer synthesis and curing, through theoretical developments and characterization of equilibrium and dynamic properties, to final applications
