Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book presents a summary of the current position in the study of natural rubber, dealing with both its fundamental properties, its chemistry, engineering properties and rheology, and the uses to which rubber is put in the modern world. Chapters describe many of these wide-ranging applications, from the everyday use of natural rubber in the manufacture of car tyres to the construction of earthquake protection systems for large buildings and finally there are pointers to the future. This book may be of interest to both scientists in the rubber industry and to researchers in chemical engineering and related subjects.
