This was especially true in this case  since the subject matter has traditionally dealt mainly with the structure  properties  and technology of the various elastomers used in industry  and these are bound to undergo significant changes over the period of a decade. In revising the contents of this volume  it was thought best to keep the orig inal format. Hence the first five chapters discuss the same general subject matter as before. The chapters dealing with natural rubber and the synthetic elastomers are up-dated  and an entirely new chapter has been added on the thermoplastic elastomers  which have  of course  grown tremendously in importance. Another innovation is the addition of a new chapter  \"Miscellaneous Elastomers \" to take care of \"old\" elastomers  e.g.  polysulfides  which have decreased some what in importance  as well as to introduce some of the newly-developed syn thetic rubbers which have not yet reached high production levels. The editor wishes to express his sincere appreciation to all the contributors  without whose close cooperation this task would have been impossible. He would especially like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Dr. Howard Stephens in the planning of this book  and for his suggestion of suitable authors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651895156789,"sku":"ByrdShop_0412539500","price":351.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780412539503.jpg?v=1781844237","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rubber-technology-9780412539503","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
