DESCRIPTION

Fluoroelastomers Handbook: The Definitive User’s Guide and Databook is a comprehensive reference on fluoroelastomer chemistry, processing technology, and applications. This is a must-have reference for materials scientists and engineers in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, chemical process, and power generation industries. Fluoroelastomers meet rigorous performance requirements in harsh environments, enhancing reliability, safety, and environmental friendliness. Fluoroelastomers are growing as products of choice for critical components such as O-rings, hoses, and seals in hostile fluid and temperature conditions.

The first part of this book is an overview of fluorocarbon elastomers, including descriptions of the nature of fluoroelastomers, properties of various compositions, developmental history, and major uses. The second part provides more details of fluoroelastomer technology, including monomer properties and synthesis, polymerization and production processes, cure systems, and processing methods. The third and last part covers fluid resistance of various fluoroelastomer families, major applications of fluoroelastomers, and safety and disposal.

 

AUDIENCE

Elastomers engineers, formulators, parts fabricators, materials scientists, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and plastics engineers in industry (automotive, aerospace, chemical, chemical process, and power).

 

FEATURES

1. Sections on polymerization include considerable theoretical detail.
2. Sections on technology emphasize what is currently used commercially, along with some developments likely to become important in the future.
3. Trends in product development, emerging uses, and methods of fabrication are discussed.
4. References at the end of each chapter serve as bibliography and additional reading resources.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dr. Albert L. Moore, with an Sc.D. from MIT, began his career in 1961 with DuPont as a research engineer in the Elastomer Chemicals Department. He accumulated more than twelve process and composition of matter patents during his career of nearly forty years, including twenty-five years in fluoroelastomers research and development. His contributions included several new fluoroelastomer compositions and polymerization process improvements. At the time of his recent retirement, he was the only recognized Senior DuPont Dow Scientist and was a recipient of the 2000 DuPont Lavoisier Medal for Technical Achievement. Recently, he received the 2004 Technical Award from the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers.
