Features: The book is divided into two parts, totaling 11 chapters. The first part consists of 7 chapters, primarily introducing various raw materials used in rubber product manufacturing. The second part has 4 chapters, focusing on the formulation design of rubber products.
Chapter 1: Main varieties of raw rubber, structure of raw rubber, physical and mechanical properties of raw rubber and their applications; regeneration mechanism, production methods, and applications of reclaimed rubber.
Chapter 2: Main varieties, performance, and usage methods of vulcanizing agents in vulcanization systems; classification, main varieties, structure, performance characteristics, and usage methods of accelerators; usage methods and characteristics of antiscorching agents.
Chapter 3: Rubber aging, main varieties and applications of antioxidants, and various methods for protecting rubber from aging.
Chapter 4: Structure, performance, and usage methods of rubber fillers and reinforcing agents.
Chapter 5: Classification, performance characteristics, and usage methods of rubber softening and plasticizing agents.
Chapter 6: Other additives that may be involved in rubber products.
Chapter 7: Basic characteristics and applications of skeletal materials for rubber products.
Chapter 8: Basic concepts of rubber formulation design.
Chapter 9: Basic principles of formulation design and methods for cost accounting of formulations.
Chapter 10: Experimental design methods for rubber formulation design.
Chapter 11: Methods for designing formulations of common special rubbers.
This book combines theory with practice, presents content in an accessible and illustrated manner, and aligns with the current trends in the rubber industry. It fills the gap in previous textbooks regarding the limited coverage of special rubber materials and processing. The book holds practical value. It can serve as a teaching material for rubber product majors in higher vocational colleges, as a teaching material for polymer-related majors in secondary vocational schools, and can also be referenced by engineering technicians and researchers in rubber product factories.
