Event Details

This a Free to Attend webinar for everyone.

This webinar brought to you in collaboration with the Adhesion Society. The present lecture will deal with the fundamental aspects of rubber to rubber bonding in raw state in presence of additives, self-healing phenomena and bonding during co-vulcanization. Behaviour of joints during application will also be highlighted. The lecture will be interesting to researchers and students in materials science and chemical engineering and professionals in rubber and polymer industries.


Overview

Rubber-to-rubber adhesion is a cornerstone of elastomer/polymer technology, impacting industries from automotive to biomedical. This lecture will explore:

  • Fundamentals of adhesion mechanisms
  • Rubber to rubber joining in raw state
  • Rubber joining in practical applications
  • Role of interfacial chemistry 
  • Self-healing phenomena
  • Behaviour of ruber joints in practical applications

Key Objectives:

  1. Fundamental aspects of rubber-to-rubber bonding 
  2. Self-healing phenomena 
  3. Bonding during co-vulcanization
  4. Rubber products and adhesion

Who Should Attend?

  • Researchers and students in materials science and chemical engineering
  • Professionals in rubber and polymer industries
  • Anyone interested in advanced adhesion technologies
