Many books and papers have been published on the topic of adhesion of materials in general, but it is 40 years since a publication has been devoted solely to the subject of bonding of rubbers to various substrates. The topics covered by this book have been selected to cover a wide range of interests, both in terms of products and applications.
The chapters in this volume have been written by experts in their fields, so the information can be regarded as the most up to date and state of the art knowledge on a particular subject.
Topics covered include:
Although there is some discussion of relevant theory in various sections of text, the emphasis in this volume has been to concentrate on the practicalities of bonding of rubbers, to themselves and substrates. It is considered that this type of information is of immediate interest to the practising technologist dealing with shop floor problems on a daily basis.
This book will be ideal for those who are just about to embark upon the practice of bonding rubbers but it will be equally useful to those practitioners already involved in this field.

His industrial experience started with Stalybridge Rubber where he first became involved with bonding of rubber to metals and plastics. This knowledge was used to advantage when he joined BTR at Burton-upon-Trent, becoming Technical Manager responsible for a wide range of products involving bonding to various substrates. Joining Uniroyal Technical Service Group he was involved with the solution of customers problems and general technical service to the European rubber industry. His bonding experience was further enhanced when he joined Woodville Rubber Company as Executive Technical Manager developing compounds for aircraft wing slot seal and many fabric rubber related composite products, together with a wide range of rubber ! to metal products incorporating all available rubber types. A period of time was also spent with Malaysian Rubber Producers Research Association working on the processing of natural rubber compounds.
After some years with Schill & Seilacher, where he was a Technical Writer/Lecturer, he moved to Loughborough University where he became associated with carbon/black/rubber processing and also ran short courses in Rubber Technology. After this he rejoined Rapra Technology as a Consultant working on the KBS rubber database, as Editor and also writing/editing many books/reports.
