Abstract This chapter deals with the varieties and characteristics of elastomers and adhesives used in the aerospace industry. The key terms, various grades, structure and properties of each elastomer are discussed. An outline of rubber compounding and vulcanisation is presented. Significant elastomer properties for aerospace applications are highlighted. Further, an adhesives section includes the varieties of adhesives, mechanism of adhesive bonding, surface preparation, and joint designs for some loading conditions. Applications of elastomers and adhesives in the aerospace field are also surveyed.
