COVER STORY
Why Don’t We Talk about The Future of Rubbery Materials ?
Rubbers, which have attractive properties derived from entropic elasticity, have been widely utilized all over the world for a long time. On the other hand, rubbers are often utilized with compounding agents, thus the resulting mechanism of physical properties is complex and has been still widely studied. This issue focuses on the future of such old but new rubbery materials, and introduces development trends and new approaches to meet recent various social needs, such as reducing loads on the environment, realization of sustainability, and improving functionality. We hope that this issue will help you to consider the future in which we live together with rubbery materials.
Editors: ODA, ITO, OKAMOTO, and KOHSAKA
