Following a description of precipitated silica properties and their relationship to elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  processing and reinforcement, chapters describe methods for compounding silica in natural rubber, emulsion styrene sty·rene

A colorless oily liquid from which polystyrenes, plastics, and synthetic rubber are produced. Also called vinylbenzene.

neoprene

Any of a class of elastomers (rubberlike synthetic organic compounds of high molecular weight) made by polymerization of the monomer 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene and vulcanized (cross-linked, like rubber), by sulfur,
, and nitrile. Each of these chapters discuss crosslinking or acceleration systems, zinc-free curing, surface area effects, and processing characteristics and provide comparison discussion of compounding using carbon black instead of precipitated silica. Further, they look at applications relevant to tear and aging resistance, adhesion, and low rolling resistance in tire treads. Each chapter also contains formulary formulary /for·mu·lary/ (for´mu-lar?e) a collection of recipes, formulas, and prescriptions.
