Keywords:Terahertz,rubber,non-destructive estimation

Non-destructive estimation method for rubber products using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is being developed. In this presentation, possibility for visualization of vulcanization reaction, which is the final process for rubber productions, and for evaluation of mixing condition of rubber compounds by THz-TDS is reported.
