The successful manufacture of engineered rubber products is complicated. It involves different disciplines, materials, and types and designs of equipment. Problems sometimes occur because of poor communication among personnel involved in the development and manufacture of rubber products. This book helps improve communication among different disciplines. Using a systems approach, it also introduces chemists and engineers to the unique capabilities of rubber in a wide range of tire and non-tire products. Contents: Elastomers and Compounds. Compound Mixing and Processing. Testing and Properties. Product Design. Use of Computers and FEA with Rubber. Non-Tire Products. Tires.
