Non-isothermal testing in rubber technology

In common practice, rubber testing is frequently performed under simplified conditions assuming that isothermal curing or isothermal relaxation are adequate, regardless of the real application. A review of innovative methods for the non-isothermal characterization of rubber is presented here to motivate their broader use for a better differentiation of rubber compounds in real processes.
