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. Plastics included in this section are thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers, thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, olefinic thermoplastic elastomers, butyl rubber, polychloroprene, ethylene–propylene rubbers, epichlorohydrin rubber, fluoroelastomers, natural rubber, acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber, styrene–butadiene rubber, ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer, polysulfide rubber and polysiloxane/silicone rubber.
