This highly useful reference work provides current practical information on the applied technology, art, and science of rubber materials for day-to-day use by designers, technicians, mechanical and sales engineers, and anyone dealing with rubber parts. It presents to the reader concise and clear engineering data for the selection of rubber materials for all kinds of applications in fields as diverse as aerospace, off-shore engineering, and automotive and hydraulic industries to name a few.

Meticulously researched and logically assembled, this book will be indispensable to the professional who must make decisions on the selection, specification and use of rubber materials for critical parts (e.g. seals) where considerable safety requirements against technical, economic, environmental, and human hazards are involved. At the same time, it introduces the engineering student and the young chemist to the proper use of rubber in engineering design.
