Description:
The TechnoBiz Knowledge Test on "Rubber Materials & Ingredients" evaluates a participant’s understanding of the fundamental building blocks used in rubber compounding and their influence on processing and product performance. It covers both natural and synthetic rubbers, their grades, properties, and processing characteristics, along with the roles of key compounding ingredients such as fillers, activators, accelerators, and curing systems. The test examines knowledge of vulcanization chemistry, polymer–filler interactions, and the selection of additives like plasticizers, stabilizers, and antioxidants for specific applications. Participants are also assessed on their ability to choose compatible raw materials and design balanced formulations that achieve optimal performance, durability, and cost-efficiency in rubber products.
