Recent Developments in Elastomers

An elastomer is a natural or synthetic polymer having elastic properties. This book offers a thorough insight of recent advances in the field of elastomers and their composites through contributions by internationally recognized specialists. The book describes latest synthesis modelling and experimental methods in elastomers and also discusses new means of crosslinking liquid crystal elastomers nanocomposites smart elastomers elastomers in microelectronics and microfluidics elastomers in cement concrete and mortar experimental testing and modelling. It also represents how enhancements in materials processes and characterization techniques can boost performance in the area of engineering. It offers a distinct opportunity to find the latest research on elastomer advances from laboratories around the world. This book accosts to industrial and academic researchers in the fields of physical chemical biological sciences and engineering.
