<p>Physical testing of Rubber is an essential reference for anyone concerned with evaluating rubber materials or with using material property data for design. There is much new and updated material, due to improvements made to apparatus by the introduction of advanced instrumentation and automation, and many changes in international standards. A number of subjects common to all areas of physical testing are addressed. These include discussion of the reasons for testing, the trends in test development, the use of statistics and quality control of laboratories.</p>

In this report, the author reviews the huge range of sports-related products from playing surfaces to footwear and clothing. He notes how changing performance, usually for the better, and the need to supplement the rules of the game to ensure consistency when a variety of materials and designs may be in use has led to an increase in testing and specification. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
