Atsushi Kato – författare

This book is an up-to-date text on rubber science and is a breakthrough among many rubber-related publications. The book is a good introduction to modern rubber science both for graduate students and for more or less experienced rubber engineers for updating their way of thinking in handling of technological problems.

This book presents the most recent description of rubber reinforcement, focusing on the network-like structure formation of nanofiller in the rubber matrix under the presence of bound rubber. In the case of natural rubber, the self-reinforcement effect is uniquely functioning, and new template crystallization is suggested.

In this second edition, considering the increasing social concerns on sustainability, the authors newly introduce an ingenious material design of rubber vulcanization along with outlining the reaction mechanism.
