Abstract
RUBBER, owing to its unsaturation, is readily open to the formation of addition compounds, and it is somewhat surprising that investigation in this field was so long dormant. Apart from the addition reaction with oxygen—a perennial rubber problem in relation to ageing or perishing—the outstanding group of addition compounds is that formed with the halogens and halogen acids, of which the present book treats. Their relative importance can be judged by the 78 pages devoted to chlorinated rubber, the other seven compounds being dismissed in 26 pages of text.
