دانلود کتاب Rubber Analysis - Polymers, Compounds and Products: Volume 12

Rubber compounds are notoriously difficult to analyze. The rubber may contain a variety of additives including other polymers, which are used to enhance the properties of the rubber matrix. It is unlikely that more than 90-95 of a complex formulation can be determined by analysis alone. It is evident that a good rubber analyst must have a working knowledge of rubber technology to succeed. This review outlines each technique used in rubber analysis and then illustrates which methods are applied to determine which facts. For example, polymer and filler identification, molecular weight determination, elemental analysis and carbon black study methods are all included. The author has included a worked example of the deformulation of a complex rubber compound. The review also includes useful appendices on international standards, rubber nomenclature and key polymer and ingredient properties. This text is a good introduction to a very complex subject area and will enable the reader to understand the basic concepts of rubber analysis. Content:• Front Matter • Table of Contents 1.
