Processing of High Consistency Rubber and Liquid Silicone Rubber, (Paperback)

<p>Silicone elastomers are becoming increasingly important in plastics technology because their outstanding properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications. In medical technology, silicone rubber is preferred over other plastics due to its good processability and physiological safety, among other things. In the automotive and electromobility sectors, the wide operating temperature range of -50 °C to +200 °C makes silicone rubbers ideal for applications in battery technology and sensor technology. Its excellent damping and haptic properties make silicone rubber interesting for the growing consumer electronics market.</p><p><br></p><p>This book provides readers with in-depth insight into the processing of silicone rubber: In addition to today's testing technology for comprehensive characterization of mechanical and physical properties, readers are introduced to various options for processing high consistency rubber (HCR) silicone and liquid silicone rubber (LSR). Current application examples from industry and research highlight the future potential of silicone rubber, including in combination with other materials.</p>
