High Performance Elastomer Materials

<p>This book presents selected papers on various aspects of rubber engineering technology and exploitation. The contributions range from new methods of the modification of filler surface and crosslinks structure of rubber vulcanizates through modern functional elastomer composites to aspects of their thermal stability flammability and ozone degradation. </p><p>Each chapter contains a brief introduction to a particular topic a description of the experimental techniques and a discussion on the results obtained followed by conclusions. The book will help to broaden the knowledge of researchers in the field of rubber compounding crosslinking and behavior under various exploitation conditions.</p><p>The research and development presented in this book has potential for industrial applications as well as for new materials and technologies. The book also details theoretical background to a number of experimental techniques which should make it interesting to research students and professionals.</p>
