The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of
the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It
covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science
including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material
science.The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether
at universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the
important advances in the covered topics.Advances in Polymer
Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its
community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each
review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it
within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize
the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss
them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and
illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many
important references of primary literature. On that basis, future
research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in
Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every
polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in
polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as
a compilation of detailed information for the specialist.Review
articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume
editors. Single contributions can be specially
commissioned.Readership: Polymer scientists, or&
nbsp;scientists in related fields interested in polymer and
biopolymer science, at universities or in industry, graduate
students.

Elastomers are found in many applications ranging from technology
to daily life applications for example in tires, drive systems,
sealings and print rollers. Dynamical operation conditions put
extremely high demands on the performance and stability of these
materials and their elastic and flow properties can be easily
adjusted by simple manipulations on their elastic and viscous
properties. However, the required service life suffers often from
material damage as a result of wear processes such as abrasion and
wear fatigue, mostly caused by crack formation and propagation.
This book covers interdisciplinary research between physics,
physical chemistry, material sciences and engineering of elastomers
within the range from nanometres to millimetres and connects these
aspects with the constitutive material properties. The different
chapters describe reliable lifetime and durability predictions
based on new fracture mechanical testing concepts and advanced
material-theoretical methods which are finally implemented in the
finite element method for structural simulations. The use of this
approach allows a realistic description of complex geometrical and
loading conditions which includes the peculiarities of the
mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials in detail.
Furthermore, this approach demonstrates how multi-scale research
concepts provide an ambitious interdisciplinary challenge at the
interface between engineering and natural sciences. This book
covers the interests of academic researchers, graduate students and
professionals working in polymer science, rubber and tire
technology and in materials science at the interface of academic
and industrial research.
