This report surveys the main types of seal, static and dynamic as well as those with more specific applications such as pneumatic and diaphragm seals. It then goes on to look at seal manufacture and the range of polymeric materials available for use in seal design from natural rubber and EPM to fluorosilicone rubbers and PTFE, providing data on their maximum and minimum usage temperatures. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

Dr. Lewis reviews the theory development and uses of high performance polymer fibres. He describes their manufacture, and compares the properties of different polymers. Applications of different materials are described, together with their advantages and limitations. His review is complemented by the addition of a fully indexed set of references and abstracts selected from the Polymer Library database. These provide further reading on the technology and uses of high performance polymers.

Reasons for testing rubber materials and products fall into four categories: quality control, provision of design data, prediction of service performance and investigation of failure. Test methods have been standardised for almost all properties likely to be relevant to rubbers, and the appropriate standards are listed in this report. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.
