Compounding and Vulcanization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Elastomers I

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 11))

Abstract

Compounding is a unique requirement of the rubber, generally not found in other material. The performance properties can be controlled by properly selecting and adjusting various compounding ingredients. The stages of rubber product manufacturing are broken down into three primary classes: selection of compounding ingredients, mixing or compounding, and vulcanization techniques or final product manufacturing process. The present chapter gives a brief introduction of the all classes with their importance. By proper selection of the variables in each class, the properties can be manipulated from virtually incompressible with a bulk modulus some thousand times greater than shear modulus, to large extent impermeable to gases and liquids and with excellent recovering and abrasion resistance etc.
