Handbook Of Rubber Technology, Vol. 3

This volume dealing with testing procedures, recycling, and hazardous aspects of various types of rubber, standardization, automation and quality control in rubber industries is the third volume of Handbook of rubber technology. This useful hand- book endeavours to present a comprehensive, accurate and the most recent account of rubber technology. The primary aim of this comprehensive sourcebook is to present an informative account of rubber testing procedures, concepts and techniques, While a knowledge of the physical properties of materials is essential for design specifications and quality control, the particular nature of rubber demands the use of specific test procedures for many of its properties. Being a complex material with a unique combination of properties, a vast range of variations in compounds and a sensitivity to small compounding or processing changes, rubber confronts the processor with a difficult quality control problem.
