This book provides a framework for analysing complex systems for which classical thermodynamics is often not applicable. Since the success of the activated process in 1970, diamond growth with simultaneous graphite etching under low pressure has often been regarded as a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. A series of nonequilibrium phase diagrams, which agree excellently with the activated diamond experi- ments, have been calculated by the author and his coworkers on the basis of reaction coupling. The book goes on to de- monstrate how these lead to a complete new systematization of modern thermodynamics.

Physical testing of Rubber is an essential reference for anyone concerned with evaluating rubber materials or with using material property data for design. There is much new and updated material, due to improvements made to apparatus by the introduction of advanced instrumentation and automation, and many changes in international standards. A number of subjects common to all areas of physical testing are addressed. These include discussion of the reasons for testing, the trends in test development, the use of statistics and quality control of laboratories.
