The course:

The performance requirements for engineered rubber products such as tyres have continuously increased over the last few decades and are set to continue to increase.

The conflicting demands of weight reduction and reduced rolling resistance, coupled with increases in abrasion resistance and wet and dry friction performance, make the tyre designer’s life difficult. All rubber components have to be designed and manufactured using robust engineering principles to ensure that they comply with the expected performance and lifetime requirements.

This course is designed specifically to give a detailed overview of all the core concepts involved in the design of rubber products.

Who should attend:


Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the course is designed for:

  • Design engineers, material compounders and production engineers from the tyre and other rubber product industries
  • Chemists and material scientists from rubber material suppliers and manufacturers
  • Personnel from automotive, aerospace and consumer product industries who work with rubber products in their systems
  • Personnel from academic and other research institutions involved in research of rubber materials
