To challenge Michelin’s Green tire, a new tire tread formulation was developed by means of silanized pre-treated silica nanofiller. The silica surfaces were pre-treated with bis[3-triethoxysilylpropyl]tetrasulfane (TESPT) to chemically...

Natural rubber is the main polymeric base of aircraft and heavy vehicles tyre rubber compounds. The effect of the same amount of a silica nanofiller on the curing, mechanical and dynamic properties of natural rubber compounds was investigated...

BACKGROUND: Tack and green strength of filled and gum (unfilled) natural rubber (NR), poly(styrene-co-butadiene) rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR) and (SBR-BR) blend with different loadings of reinforcement agent, silanized silica nanofiller...

BACKGROUND: The effect of the same amount of precipitated silica nanofiller on the curing and dynamic properties of different rubbers, including natural rubber (NR) without and with the addition of elemental sulfur (NR with S), synthetic...
