Introduction to Dispersions<br />
4 hours<br />
CEUs: .4<br />
This course will start with a detailed explanation on how dispersion<br />
is accomplished in rubber, including both liquids and solids.<br />
Next, each type of dispersion will be studied, including the<br />
common carriers and their capabilities. When discussing the<br />
polymer bound dispersion, several polymer types and combination<br />
will be examined. Finally, each type of dispersion will be explored<br />
as to their benefi ts and limitations.<br />
Chemical Structures and<br />
Viscoelasticity of <strong>Rubber</strong><br />
4 hours<br />
CEUs: .4<br />
This course is designed to focus on the chemistry of rubber and<br />
the other compound ingredients and their effects on viscoelasticity<br />
rather than the mathematical models and laboratory methods<br />
of measuring rubber viscoelasticity. The viscoelastic models,<br />
theories and defi nitions are covered, but the main focus is on<br />
the rubber compounding side. The viscoelastic properties of<br />
non-tire mechanical goods and tires are discussed, versus their<br />
performance properties.<br />
