Rubber Processing: Technology, Materials, Principles

Rubber Processing represents the first complete summary of rubber processing. It critically discusses the development of rubber processing technology and also provides a fundamental understanding of all theoretical and experimental aspects of rubber processing and engineering, including flow simulation.
The book is unique in that it presents a detailed treatment of many areas never combined before, such as rubber materials; technological development of mixing, extrusion, calendering and mending; flow simulation of mixing, extrusion, calendering and molding.
Another unique aspect of Rubber Processing is that in many chapters, especially those treating technology, references include not only journal articles but also many American, British, German and Japanese patents.

James L. White has been professor of Polymer Engineering, director of the Institute of Polymer Engineering and head of the Department of Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron since 1983.
