"""[T]he book is full of information and useful for any practitioner. It includes much implicit material [about how] external influences are changing the structure of tires . This aspect makes the book useful also for academics. Summing Up: Recommended."" - CHOICE, Feb. 2005 ""Although there have been tremendous advances in the quantitative understanding of some of the areas covered, many are still more of an art than a science. This makes the present book all the more valuable as a guide for optimizing the conversion of a typical elastomer into a useful commercial product. This book will be a gold mine of information for anyone involved in making elastomeric products of any type."" - Polymer News, 2005, Vol. 30"
