  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 12))

Abstract

This chapter summarizes many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the area of elastomer macrocomposites. Firstly, it explains the compounds that exist in elastomeric matrices as well as the types of filler used in order to reinforce them. Then, the various recent attempts reported on advances of elastomer based macrocomposites are discussed. In addition, an analytical description in their manufacturing techniques and processes is comprehensively reported. Moreover, the techniques used to structurally and mechanically characterize the elastomeric macrocomposites are covered. Their usage in commercial applications is described as a final point.
