Course structure

Rubber technology is an intensive seminar. We ask the course members to bring a laptop because the syllabus will be provided via CD-ROM. It is partly based on the book “Basic Elastomer Technology” (Rubber Division, American Chemical Society). A tour of the Apollo Vredestein tyre assembly factory is included in the programme. Case studies are used to discuss the application in the company environment. There are plenty of opportunities provided for discussion of theoretical and practical aspects with the lecturers. Also after the seminar the participants can obtain advice from the University of Twente.
