Developments in Rubber Technology, vol. 4.Developments in Rubber Technology - 4 A. Whelan and K. S. Lee (editors) Price: $93.00 This volume, the fourth in a series which began in 1979, covers a greater variety of subjects than any previous single volume. The selection of contributions has been based on current topical interest; hence the tailor-making of polymers to develop specific properties Specific properties of a substance are derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties (or intensive and extensive properties) of that substance. For example, the density of steel (a specific and intrinsic property) can be derived from measurements of the mass of a steel bar , methods of improving compound processability and the use of rubbers in the oil industry are featured alongside a discussion of safety aspects. The service life and performance of a rubbr product are dependent on the rubber chosen, together with the types and quantities of compounding ingredients which are incorporated. Careful selection of the vulcanising system, filler fill·er 1 n. One that fills, as: a. Something added to augment weight or size or fill space. b. A composition, especially a semisolid that hardens on drying, used to fill pores, cracks, or holes in wood, plaster, , plasticiser Noun 1. plasticiser - a substance added to plastics or other materials to make them more pliable plasticizer softener - a substance added to another to make it less hard and protective agent may enable a rubber to give a satisfactory performance in conditions which ordinarily would be considered beyond its range. The design of a rubber product is another important factor which influences its behaviour and affects its length of service. The topics covered include plasticisers, processing aids, quality control of rubber processing, elastomers, nitrile rubbers Nitrile rubber, or Buna-N,is a synthetic rubber copolymer of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. Some trade names are: Nipol, Krynac and Europrene. , epoxy resins epoxy resins, group of synthetic resins used to make plastics and adhesives. These materials are noted for their versatility, but their relatively high cost has limited their use. , safety aspects and adhesion adhesion /ad·he·sion/ (ad-he´zhun) 1. the property of remaining in close proximity. 2. the stable joining of parts to one another, which may occur abnormally. 3. of rubbers to tire cords. The contributions in this volume are by the foremost authorities in their respective fields. This book will be of particular interest to all rubber and plastics technologists in industry as well as academia, raw materials suppliers and research institutes and libraries. |
