Reverse Engineering of Rubber Products (eBook, ePUB)

Concepts, Tools, and Techniques

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This unique book describes the techniques used to discover which materials and processes were used to produce a particular vulcanized rubber compound from a combination of raw rubber, chemicals, and pigments. It covers polymer identification, carbon black percent calculation, volatile separation, and ultimately the reengineering of the chemical formulation of an unknown rubber product. This is an invaluable reference for anyone who wants to gather comparative benchmark information, discover formulations used throughout the industry, improve product performance, and shorten the product development cycle.

Rezensionen

"Rubber is among the most customizable of materials. This fact represents a great opportunity for companies seeking to differentiate their materials and products in the marketplace, and it is the reason that development and competition in the rubber industry hinges so much on materials science. It also presents a great challenge for companies seeking to stay on top of current market trends, since a compound's make-up is usually a trade secret. The authors of this book are authorities on the subject, and they have done a great service by bringing together this collection of valuable techniques. Readers will appreciate the convenience of having this information in a topic-focused volume, and they will benefit from the decades of experience that the authors bring to the subject."
--Will Mars, CEO, Endurica LLC and editor, Rubber Chemistry and Technology, USA

"Reverse engineering is very important. This is the first text addressing this area and will therefore be of considerable value."
