Rubber composites are manufactured by blending rubber with other materials such as fibers, fillers, and other polymers. Recycling, processing, properties, and design aspects are all significant factors that need to be considered when working with these materials.Rubber Composites: Recycling, Processing, Properties, Design and Applications provides an extensive review of recent advances in this important research field.The chapters cover the processing, structure, properties, and applications of rubber-based composites. These are versatile materials and with the appropriate design planning, manufacturing process, and properties, these materials can be tailored to meet specific industrial requirements with enhanced performance and sustainability.This book will be a valuable reference source for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, polymer chemists, and industrial manufacturers working in the research and development of rubber-based composites and their related products.- Covers a broad range of material types- Discusses practical design steps, economic aspects, modern manufacturing, characterization techniques, and recycling- Presents both fundamentals and applied aspects- Includes modern applications such as automotive mounting, automotive components, and high voltage electrical vehicles
