Vergnaud J.M., Rosca I.D. Rubber curing and properties

CRC Press, 2009. — 232 с.The physical properties of a rubber material are not only innate; they largely depend on the state of cure of the final compound, as well as on the nature of the initial fresh rubber selected for the cure, this uncured rubber being either natural or synthetic. The theory of the cure process has been developed and updated, and the results especially applied to rubber materials in the present book. By introducing the typical values of a problem, readers can obtain the result of the actual problem put before them.About the authors
