Abstract
This chapter focuses on elastomers and rubbers. Chemical structures with effects of weathering, common stabilizers, manufacturers, and trade names along with typical end uses of the plastics are included besides extensive tabular and graphical physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties before and after various weathering processes. Elastomers and rubbers included in this section are thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU), thermoplastic copolyester elastomers (TPE-E or COPE), olefinic thermoplastic elastomers (TPO), butyl rubber, polychloroprene, ethylene-propylene rubbers (EPR and EPDM), epichlorohydrin rubber, fluoroelastomers, natural rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), styrene-butadiene rubber, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polysulfide rubber, and polysiloxane/silicone rubber.
