Elastomers and Rubber Compounding Materials reviews the properties of elastomers and particular groups of ingredients and chemicals mixed into the basic elastomer to form a rubber compound. After introducing the history of rubber industry and the general properties of rubber, the book discusses the properties, classification, concentration, stabilization, modification, application, transport, and storage of latex. It presents as well the methods of production, composition, physical properties, and chemical reactions of dry rubber. The book then focuses on the production and classification of different synthetic rubbers, such as styrene-butadiene, isoprene, butadiene, ethylene-propylene, and chloroprene. It also discusses the production, properties, and applications of elastomers, vulcanization chemicals, fillers, stabilizers, plasticizers, blowing agents, and textile reinforcing materials used in formulating rubber compounds. This book will be of great value not only to those who are in the rubber industry, but also to students of polymer science and rubber technology.

Natural Rubber (NR) is a renewable polymer endowed with remarkable properties including its high elasticity and high film forming capacity, properties that enable its use in a wide range of applications. In this book, Chapter One reviews properties, behavior and uses of NR. Chapter Two discusses NR properties and conventional applications, as well the development of new thermo-reversible cross linked NR. Chapter Three evaluates samples of natural rubber latex using a coaxial cylinder rheometer and, as from the data obtained, propose a model to determine the flow energy at different total solids contents. Chapter Four provides a review of the past, present and future perspectives of the vulcanization of natural rubber. Chapter Five investigates the effect of increasing MMT loading levels on the physico-mechanical properties of EVA/ devulcanized rubber (DVC rubber) blends. Chapter Six discusses in detail the parameters and conditions that could influence the degradation reaction of NR latex in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and UV light. Chapter Seven focuses specifically on the use of metal and metal oxide particles in NR, epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and their respective blends reported between 2010 to 2015.

The Science and Technology of Rubber, Third Edition provides a broad survey of elastomers with special emphasis on materials with a rubber-like elasticity. As in the 2nd edition, the emphasis remains on a unified treatment of the material; exploring topics from the chemical aspects such as elastomer synthesis and curing, through recent theoretical developments and characterization of equilibrium and dynamic properties, to the final applications of rubber, including tire engineering and manufacturing. Many advances have been made in polymer and elastomers research over the past ten years since the 2nd edition was published. Updated material stresses the continuous relationship between the ongoing research in synthesis, physics, structure and mechanics of rubber technology and industrial applications. Special attention is paid to recent advances in rubber-like elasticity theory and new processing techniques for elastomers. This new edition is comprised of 20% new material, including a new chapter on environmental issues and tire recycling.
