A rubber technologist must have an understanding of Physics of raw and vulcanized rubber which include Viscosity, Elasticity and Solubility, understand stress-strain & other physical properties of vulcanized rubbers.

Natural Rubber (NR), Polyisoprene Rubber, Styrene Butadiene Rubber, Polybutadiene Rubber, Nitrile Rubber, EPM / EPDM Rubber, Butyl Rubber (IIR), Polychloroprene Rubber

A rubber technologist must understand fully testing of Un vulcanized rubber compounds for its processing and curing characteristics and rubber products for various physical properties such as stress‐strain properties, hardness, abrasion resistance, tear resistance etc.

The subject of rubber product manufacturing is significant due to its economic, technological, and societal implications. By studying this subject, individuals can gain insights into the complex processes involved in producing high-quality rubber products and contribute to innovation, sustainability, and industry advancement.

Vulcanization is the most important step in manufacture of rubber products. Design of vulcanization system for a compound influences its processing characteristics and product properties. A judicious selection of the vulcanization system is therefore required for the processing, curing technique and product property requirements.

A Rubber Technologist must have an understanding of various machinery used in Rubber industry for conversion of raw rubber into finished rubber product.

A rubber technologist must have an understanding of various compounding ingredients used in making the rubber articles as raw rubber is seldom useful without compounding. The ingredients used in compounding plays a very important part in the properties of final products, its cost of manufacturing and performance quality etc.
