Preface
Determination of the physical properties of materials is essential for design, specification and quality control purposes. However, the particular nature of rubbers and rubber-like materials demands that specific test procedures, rather than methods for materials in general, are used to measure almost all their properties. One strong indication of the importance of rubber testing to industry and research is the large number of national and international standards which have been produced to cover the full spectrum of properties. A text devoted to the Physical Testing of Rubbers based on experience at Rapra first appeared in 1965 with the publication of the work of the late Dr. J R Scott, who was widely regarded as the ‘father of rubber testing.’ The first edition of my own book of the same title came in 1979 with the second, third, and fourth editions reflecting the continuing technical developments over the next four decades. More than 50 years after that first text, a new volume was needed to give an account of the present-day methods for testing elastomers. There have been many changes in the methods used over that time and new procedures have been introduced. Specifically, there have been vast improvements to much of the instrumentation as more modern te
