Traditional rubber products contain rubber and multiple additives. Unfortunately, many of these materials are obtained from fossil fuel sources, resulting in environmental hazards, overuse of dwindling reserves, and reliance on a volatile petroleum market price. The need for the use of more sustainable materials in the rubber industry is clear and advances are being made toward this goal. This unique book highlights these developments in the science and technology of sustainable materials in the rubber and allied industries. It covers both rubber materials and the ingredients necessary to make a product, as well as pertinent legislation and regulations.

• Offers expert perspectives from both industry and academia.

• Addresses real-world problems and offers solutions.

• Discusses natural and synthetic rubbers and their sustainable monomers and thermoplastic elastomers.

• Details sustainable fillers, curing agents and activators, antidegradants, resins, and process aids.

• Explores sustainable textiles and steel for reinforcement.

• Covers rubber recycling as well as regulations and legislation.

This book is aimed at engineers, scientists, and researchers in materials science, chemistry, and related fields who are seeking to provide a sustainable alternative for this crucial industry.
