Handbook of Specialty Elastomers

The <b>Handbook of Specialty Elastomers</b> provides a single source reference for the design of compounds using specialty elastomers. Each chapter examines elastomers in terms of development history, chemical composition, structure, properties, processing methods, applications, and commercially available products. The book also discusses the use of antioxidants, antiozonants, vulcanization agents, plasticizers, and process aids with specialty elastomers. Covering applications in the rubber, energy, chemicals, and oil industries, the concluding chapter discusses the considerations involved in designing application-specific rubber compounds.
