Ebook: Rubber Analysis: Characterisation, Failure Diagnosis and Reverse Engineering

Rubber analysis plays a vital part in ensuring that manufactured products are fit for purpose. This comprehensive, application-based book with up-to-date referencing covers all important applications and subject area associated with the analysis of rubber compounds and rubber products. Includes characterization of rubber polymers, rubber fumes, identification of extractables and leachables, as well as reverse engineering on compounded products.

• Describes characterization of rubber polymers with and without additives.
• Failure diagnostics and its use for identification of contaminants and surface blooms are highlighted.
• Approaches can be used for partial or complete reverse engineering.
