This is followed by information on several groups of additives such as activators, accelerators, retarders, peroxides, fillers, antioxidants, antiozonants, and several other groups.\u003cbr\u003eThe first section is completed by information on rubber processing and physical testing for in-process analysis and final product property determination. The first section is designed to give background to better understand formations. The second part is divided into chapters based on the type of rubber used in the formulations. There are eleven chapters each for natural rubber and polyisoprene, styrene-butadiene \u0026amp; butadiene, butyl and halobutyl, neoprene, EPDM, nitrile, chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, urethane, silicone and fluoroelastomers, acrylate and epichlorohydrin, and specialty rubbers.\u003cbr\u003eThe formulations included in this volume were developed by research centers of leading manufacturers in the USA including Ausimont, DSM Copolymer, DuPont Dow Elastomers, Engelhard Corporation, Enichem Elastomers Americas, Exxon Chemical Company, Goodyear Chemical Division, PPG Industries, TSE Industries, Union Carbide Corporation, Uniroyal Chemical Company, R. T. Vanderbilt Company and Zeon Chemicals. The formulations were subjected to testing for intended products from the point of view of their performance, long-term stability, and processing methods \u0026amp; conditions.\u003cbr\u003eAbout 500 formulations are given for a large number of products which belong to the following groups: tires, automotive parts (motor mount, wiper blade, pipe gasket, handle grip, bushings, exhaust hanger, V-belt, coolant hose, radiator hose, brake hose, window gasket, weatherstrip, diaphragms, fuel hose, gasoline resistant lining, power steering, shock absorber, shaft seal), seals, footwear, conveyor belts, bottle stoppers, bands, balls, golf ball cores, dampening materials, springs, exercise equipment, cellular materials, sponge, air duct, hose, tubing, air conditioner parts, wet suits, gaskets, roof sheating, curtain wall seal and other building seals, cable and wire, water sports equipment, outdoor matting, building profiles, home equipment, and many more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe formulations presented in this book were optimized for different processing methods such as vulcanization, extrusion, injection molding, press molding, lamination, calendering, transfer molding, and coating. There is a clear distinction in the presentation which allows for an easy choice of formulation for processing method and processing conditions. The process data given provide starting conditions very useful for process optimization. The other important feature of this collection of formulations is related to the large variety of special performance characteristics under which products are expected to perform. Examples of these special characteristics are improved tear strength, electric conductivity, electric and thermal insulating properties, an ozone resistance, low heat build-up, adhesion to specific substrates, thick or thin articles, resistance to chemicals, reversion, weather, easy processing, abrasion resistance, translucence, color stability, food and pharmaceutical applications, microwave curing, antistatic properties, flame resistance, high and low temperature service, and more. This large number of formulations ready for comparison allows understanding principles of their formulation and optimization.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the above information, it becomes apparent that manufacturers of rubber products will find this collection of formulations very useful for many purposes such as the formulation of new products, reformulation of existing products, finding more economical methods of production of existing and new products, formulation costing, and estimation of the cost of competing manufacturers. But the usefulness of this book goes beyond rubber product manufacturers. Users of rubber products can find the book useful for understanding compatibility issues with rubber products, the available performance characteristics of various products, make a judgment regarding the level of technology of their suppliers, define state-of-art performance, etc. In summary, this book, similar to all bases dealing with the extensive amount of data, is suggested reference volume which helps both manufacturer and a rubber product user to obtain answers to many questions coming from everyday practice.

Therefore, mixing of the additives with the rubber is a very important step in the processing of rubber. There has been extensive research to try to understand the relationships between the formulation and the properties of the final product. \u003cbr\u003eIn an industry with more than 100 years' accumulated history and a number of possible combinations of ingredients in the rubber formulation, there is an enormous amount of knowledge. However, this knowledge of exists in fragments scattered as in-house 'know-how' among manufacturers and in the personal experience of the individual operators. This book organizes this fragmented knowledge into a coherent whole based on scientific principles. \u003cbr\u003eThe book contains 14 chapters.

Therefore, mixing of the additives with the rubber is a very important step in the processing of rubber. There has been extensive research to try to understand the relationships between the formulation and the properties of the final product. \u003cbr\u003eIn an industry with more than 100 years' accumulated history and a number of possible combinations of ingredients in the rubber formulation, there is an enormous amount of knowledge. However, this knowledge of exists in fragments scattered as in-house 'know-how' among manufacturers and in the personal experience of the individual operators. This book organizes this fragmented knowledge into a coherent whole based on scientific principles. \u003cbr\u003eThe book contains 14 chapters. Each chapter is fully referenced and extensively illustrated. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is written for students, teachers and those in the rubber industry, who wish to acquire a scientific viewpoint of mixing. Last but not least it is written for the researchers in this field. With the latter in mind, subjects for future research are indicated wherever appropriate. With varied readers in mind, each chapter is written in such a way that it may be read independently from others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill Processability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing of Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViscoelasticity and Fracture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacterisation using Dilute Solution methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViscoelastic Characterisation of Gum Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViscoelastic Characterisation of Rubber Compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRheology of Gum Rubber and Compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforcing Fillers and Liquid Additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Energy Aspects of Mixing Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing Mechanisms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-Mixing Processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial Testing, Quality Control, and Process Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing of Rubber without using a Mill or Internal Mixer\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is fully referenced and extensively illustrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"1\" style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eProfessor Nakajima was born in Japan and received his first degree from Tokyo University.
