“…A number of papers have been included that, while they do not present specific new methods, either give general background or present fundamental information which should be helpful in the development of new methods. As in the case of previous reviews (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9), test methods applied to compounding or other ingredients usually have been omitted, except for those involving their qualitative or quantitative determination in rubber. Similarly, methods devised to test the raw materials used in the manufacture of synthetic rubbers have also been omitted.…”
