Effect of various efficient vulcanization sulfur cure systems (EV) on the compression set of a nitrile rubber filled with carbon black and silica/silane fillers was examined. The cure systems had different amounts of thiuram and sulfenamide...

Extensive use of rubber in industrial articles and their eventual disposal at the end of their useful service life has created a major concern for the environmental. In automotive applications, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) is used...

The disposal of polymeric and hazardous materials is an important global issue. Thus, the mechanochemical reclaiming of waste EPDM rubber was carried out using disulfide oil (DSO), oily waste produced in gas refineries, as a reclaiming agent at a...

Effect of the same amount of precipitated silica nanofiller on the processing and dynamic properties of natural rubber (NR), synthetic polyisoprene (IR), polybutadiene (BR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was investigated. The silica surfaces...

Rubber compounders and tire manufacturers could benefit from reducing or eliminating harmful and expensive chemicals from the curing process...

A variety of formulations was investigated for the fabrication of an appropriate shielding rubber to be used in neutron–gamma mixed fields. Having considered the required mechanical properties together with tungsten as the gamma-ray absorbing...
