This very complete and unusually detailed treatment of the principles and practices of molding elastomers, both thermosetting and thermoplastic, is an instant classic reference work. Its ten chapters cover every aspect of molding rubbery materials, with up-to-date descriptions of the materials, methods, and tool design features that will be valuable to even long-term industry practitioners and quite invaluable to those relatively new to the field.
