Nanoparticles (NPs) are being incorporated into pristine polymeric matrices as well as
recycled waste polymers to prepare new materials with enhanced properties called polymer …

Zinc oxide performs as the best cure activator in sulfur-based vulcanization of rubber, but it is
regarded as a highly toxic material for aquatic organisms. Hence, the toxic cure activator …

Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) composed of crosslinked rubber phase with high
chemical and thermal resistance have received great attention in pharmaceutical and …

The surface of sol–gel-synthesized nano-alumina (Al 2 O 3) was modified by three types of
silane coupling agents with different specific functionalities, namely 3 …

In this work, polychloroprene rubber (CR) nanocomposite films reinforced with native and
modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were evaluated for dipped goods applications. The …

The effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) with different crystal facets on the vulcanization activity
efficiency was studied via experiments and theoretical calculation. Two types of ZnO particle …

The properties of rubber materials are dependent on the characteristics of the elastomer
matrix, the filler type, the cross-linking agent, the number of ingredients, and their …

Geopolymer (GP) was synthesized and used as activators in sulfur vulcanization of
epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). Influences of GP on cure characteristics, crosslink density …

The purpose of the present article is to modify the surface of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO 2)
and to investigate the reinforcing effect of both unmodified and surface-modified nano …

Polychloroprene rubber (CR) is one of the most abundantly used elastomer in power
transmission belt section due to its excellent oil resistance, weather resistance, antistatic and …
