Rubber technology

Reverse engineering is widely practiced in the rubber industry. Companies routinely analyze competitors’ products to gather information about specifications or compositions. In a competitive market, introducing new products with better features and at a faster pace is critical for any manufacturer. Reverse Engineering of Rubber Products: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques explains the principles and science behind rubber formulation development by reverse engineering methods. The book describes the tools and analytical techniques used to discover which materials and processes were used to produce a particular vulcanized rubber compound from a combination of raw rubber, chemicals, and pigments.

A Compendium of Chemical, Analytical, and Physical Test Methods

Organized into five chapters, the book first reviews the construction of compounding ingredients and formulations, from elastomers, fillers, and protective agents to vulcanizing chemicals and processing aids. It then discusses chemical and analytical methods, including infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, chromatography, and microscopy. It also examines physical test methods for visco-elastic behavior, heat aging, hardness, and other features. A chapter presents important reverse engineering concepts. In addition, the book includes a wide variety of case studies of formula reconstruction, covering large products such as tires and belts as well as smaller products like seals and hoses.

Reviews for Reverse Engineering of Rubber Products: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques

Rubber is among the most customizable of materials. This fact represents a great opportunity for companies seeking to differentiate their materials and products in the marketplace, and it is the reason that development and competition in the rubber industry hinges so much on materials science. It also presents a great challenge for companies seeking to stay on top of current market trends, since a compound's make-up is usually a trade secret. The authors of this book are authorities on the subject, and they have done a great service by bringing together this collection of valuable techniques. Readers will appreciate the convenience of having this information in a topic-focused volume, and they will benefit from the decades of experience that the authors bring to the subject. --Will Mars, CEO, Endurica LLC and editor, Rubber Chemistry and Technology, USA Reverse engineering is very important. This is the first text addressing this area and will therefore be of considerable value. -Brendan Rodgers, ExxonMobil, Texas, USA
