What Reviewers Are Saying
"... presents an elementary as well as developing research idea of the principles of Rubber Compounding: Chemistry and Application. ... contains more than enough material ... emphasis has been placed on physical understanding while, at the same time, relying on meaningful experimental data. ... very unique and helpful to understand industrial application and problems related to product."
-Dr. Gautam Sarkhel, Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, BIT, Mesra, Ranchi, India
"... Each chapter is written by well-known specialists highly qualified in their respective areas of rubber technology. Their expertise shows in precise guidelines for the practical compounding of different categories of rubber compounds. I am convinced that this book gives newcomers as well as rubber experts valuable insights in the fascinating material "rubber"."
-Prof. Dr. Anke Blume, University of Twente
"Rodgers (technology adviser at ExxonMobil Chemical, Shanghai Technical Center, China) edits this update to the first edition (CH, Feb'05, 42-3434). The second edition is a collection of chapters by contributors from the rubber and rubber-related industries. Chapter topics include the fundamental chemistry of natural rubber, the chemistry of production, and the elaboration of many synthetic elastomers. Other subjects are the various additives that strengthen rubber, change the physical properties of rubber, and increase rubber's resistance to oxidation. The final chapters cover recycling, industrial uses, and tire technology. Though the assumed background levels of intended readers vary considerably among chapters, any chemist with an understanding of organic chemistry and some acquaintance with polymer chemistry can glean a significant amount of information from this book. The work includes helpful illustrations, graphs, and reaction schemes. Each chapter has comprehensive references, and the book is fully indexed."
