The book "Analysis of Rubber and Rubber-like Polymers" offers a comprehensive examination of analytical methods for quality control of natural and synthetic rubbers. The first edition, published in 1958, highlights the challenges posed by the introduction of synthetic rubbers and describes the chemical analytical methods used at that time. The second edition from 1968 consolidates the techniques introduced in the first edition and provides an in-depth insight into the development of instrumental analytics, particularly the application of infrared spectroscopy for the identification of polymers and their pyrolytic products. The book is aimed at professionals in the field of materials science and engineering and covers both classical and modern analytical methods that are significant for the study of rubber and similar polymers.
