Natural rubber has always been an important industrial material, but its value has increased with the demand for more sustainable materials. There has also been a wealth of research on the properties of natural rubber and how they can be best used e.g. by incorporating fillers or developing natural rubber composite materials. This important book summarises this research and its significance for the industrial applications of natural rubber.
