Wherever we have traveled, we have heard good words about the book. It has been found to be useful for teaching, research, and business purposes. The overwhelming response from around the world prompted us to undertake a second edition. Considering the success of the first edition, the style of the book has not been changed. New chapters have been included and materials no longer in vogue have been deleted. Most of the chapters from the first edition have been updated with new information and technology, and only a few have been retained in their original form because no significant new developments have occurred. Readers’ suggestions have been incorporated in many places. We wish to thank all the authors for their fine contributions and sharing of their expertise. We are grateful to many rubber companies, polymer institutes, and research and development organizations around the world for valuable suggestions and assistance. We acknowledge our indebtedness to our family members, especially to Asmit Bhowmick, Dr. S. K. Biswas, and Ms. K. Biswas, for their patient understanding. Last, but not least, we are thankful to Russell Dekker, Chief Publishing Officer, and EricS tannard, Production Editor, of Marcel Dekker, Inc., for their wholehearted support and guidance. We hope that the second edition of Handbook of Elastomers will be even more useful to our readers. Ani1 K. Bhownick Howard L. Stephens V This Page Intentionally Left Blank Contents ... 111 .vi 1.
