Natural rubber comprises around 90% cis-1, 4 polyisoprene and 10% various substances
(non-rubber elements). These non-rubber elements (proteins, metal ions, etc.) can affect the …

Malodourous emission from raw natural rubber (NR) processing activities has become a
public nuisance since residential and public development areas are gradually expanding …

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanizates were prepared using various emulsion SBRs
(ESBRs) and solution SBRs (SSBRs) with different microstructures, and were pyrolyzed …

The determination of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) from inverse gas
chromatographic (IGC) data for a group of nano-materials and modified nano-materials is …

The objective of this study was to find the optimal condition for the extraction of rubber seed
oil (RSO), using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME). Response surface methodology with a …

Solubility parameter and Flory–Huggins polymer–solvent interaction parameter of an SEBS
(poly (styrene-b-butene/ethylene-b-styrene) triblock copolymer) rubber, were measured by …

This study aimed at the extraction of soap nut fruit to blend with natural rubber as a natural
additive. The effectiveness of blending at various blend ratios has been studied in detail …

The search for alternative fuels has been gaining attention in recent decades. The
replacement of fossil fuels is driven by environmental, economic, and social factors, since …

The vegetable oil tends to be incompatible and insoluble in the rubber hydrocarbon. They
can migrate to the surface of the uncured rubber. To overcome this problem, fatty acid esters …

The absorption and diffusion of organic solvents such as toluene, diesel and kerosene into
natural rubber vulcanizates filled with palm kernel husk and N330 was studied at ambient …
