ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS TAMPERE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY THE LABORATORY OF PLASTICS AND ELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY Kalle Hanhi, Minna Poikelisp , Hanna-Mari Tiril Summary On this course the students will get the basic information on different grades of rubber and thermoelasts. The chapters focus on the following subjects: - Introduction - Rubber types - Rubber blends - Thermoplastic elastomers - Processing - Design of ELASTOMERIC products - Recycling and reuse of ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS The first chapter introduces shortly the history of rubbers. In addition, it cover definitions, manufacturing of rubbers and general properties of elastomers. In this chapter students get grounds to continue the studying. The second chapter focus on different grades of elastomers. It describes the structure, properties and application of the most common used rubbers.

1.1 Definitions of elastomeric materials and rubbers Monomer Low molar mass molecules which can react with the same or a different kind of monomers, thus composing a polymer.
