A New Book Co-edited by Prof. Dr. Önder Pekcan

Intech Open, one of the world’s leading publishers of open access books, whose readership spans scientists, researchers, students, and librarians as well as business professionals, recently published Application and Characterization of Rubber Materials, co-edited by Emeritus Professor M. Önder Pekcan from KHAS Molecular Biology and Genetics Department and Assoc. Prof.  Gülşen Akın Evingür from Piri Reis University Industrial Engineering Department.

Rubber Materials are used across a vast range of domestic and industrial applications. There are ten common types of rubber: Natural Rubber, Styrene- butadiene rubber, Butyl, Nitrile, Silicone, Polyurethane, Hydrogenated Nitrile, and so on. Their properties and applications are essential for domestic and industrial applications. Additionally, the scope of this book covers four areas of rubber material as its properties and characterizations of them. Their mechanical, optical, and acoustic properties and kinetics are covered in the book.

This book comprises six chapters. The 1st chapter (Buddhima Rupasinghe, the USA) covers Recycling Silicone-based materials. The 2nd chapter (Azemi bin Samsuri, Malaysia) shows recycled carbon black based on styrene-butadiene rubber, natural rubber, and nitrile rubber compounds. The 3rd chapter (Yury V. Kornev, Hammat H. Valiev, Yuliya N. Karnet, Alla A. Kornilova, Nikolay A. Semenov and Alexander N. Vlasov; Russia) describes composition and structure influence on the properties of elastomeric composites with silicon dioxide fillers. The 4th chapter (Ntalane S. Seroka, Raymond Taziwa and Lindiwe Khotseng; South Africa) presents sugar cane bagasse ash: an agricultural residue with potential rubber filler applications. The 5th chapter (Jacek Rafał Kędzia, Anna Maria Sitko, Józef Tadeusz Haponiuk and Justyna Kucińska Lipkain; Poland) highlights Natural rubber latex origin, specification, and application. The 6th chapter (Mounir Kassmi, Tunisia) shows the characterization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon using infrared spectroscopy and ellipsometry measurements.
