Over the decades, ZnO has been the primary cure activator in the sulfur vulcanization of
rubber, but due to its environmental impact on aquatic ecosystems, its use in rubber …

The influence of the addition of vulcanizing additives on the molecular dynamics of
unvulcanized natural rubber (NR) has been studied by broadband dielectric spectroscopy …

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (N-ZnO) and zinc complexes with 1, 3-diketones of different
structures were applied instead of microsized zinc oxide (M-ZnO) to activate the sulfur …

Activators are essential additives in the production of industrially viable elastomeric
compounds. However, zinc oxide, the most widely used along with stearic acid, produces …

Abstract A blend of SBR/NBR (50/50) reinforced with a core-shell (nanotitanium
dioxide/silica fume waste) in the presence of a silane coupling agent and polyethylene …

The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of the reduction of zinc content in Ethylene,
Propylene and Diene Monomer (EPDM) elastomeric compositions. Vulcanization …

Zinc soaps derived from various vegetable oils and fatty acids were synthesized, and the
product with the highest yield was chosen for compounding with silica-filled natural rubber …

This article presents a method to precipitate zinc (lignin/silica/fatty acids) complex (Zn LSF
complex) from the black liquor of pulped rice straw and studying the efficiency of it as green …

Vulcanization is an important step in the manufacture of solid tires in which the crosslinking
process occurs. In vulcanization, the materials commonly used as activators and …

The aim of this work was to characterize the chemical, physical–mechanical and aging
properties of elastomeric compositions containing additives from renewable sources …
