Vulcanised unfilled natural rubbers containing different quantities of oil were prepared. The
amount of oil was varied from 5, 10, 25, 35 and 40 pphr The oil was later extracted by means …

Equilibrium swelling test was employed to determine the swelling responses of Fluororubber
(FKM) and Fluorosilicone Rubber (FVMQ) in different types of solvents, and the one …

An inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method was used to study the solubility parameters (δ
2) and the related thermodynamic properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) that was used for the …

In this work, the mole fraction solubility of rhein in 12 pure solvents including methanol,
ethanol, n-propanol, isopropyl alcohol, 1-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, 1, 4-dioxane, 2 …

Due to the toxicity of aromatic oils derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
safe process oils are required for a replacement in rubber compounds. The properties of tire …

The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ1, 2∞) and solubility parameter (δ2) and its
hydrogen bonding sensing component (δh) were determined using inverse gas …

A study on the physicochemical properties of methyl soyate (or soybean oil fatty acid methyl
esters) is very important for its use as a substitute solvent in liquid–liquid separations …

Background Rubber compounds are widely used in many applications because of the
properties they exhibit. The physical and mechanical properties of these blends are …

The compatibility of biodiesel blends with five common elastomers (acrylonitrile rubber or
NBR, fluorocarbon, neoprene, ethylene propylene diene monomer or EPDM, and silicone) …

Variation in the composition of the bound rubber of filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)
compounds was studied using pyrolysis-gas chromatography (pyrolysis-GC). The …
