It is essential to deeply understand the chemical changes caused in the rubber compositions
when using green additives, especially in the thermal degradation and stability. So, the …

Epoxidized vegetable oils are well-known as biobased, sustainable additives for polymers.
However, relatively little work has been done to explore their effects on silica-filled rubber …

The present study aimed to characterize and determine the technical viability of using
vegetable oil as a lubricant and vulcanization activator with low zinc content in a natural …

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

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 …

The aim of this work was to use additives from renewable sources to develop an elastomeric
formulation with reduced environmental impact and lower rolling resistance. Twelve …

Because of the high viscosity of rubber compounds, the use of processing aids is essential
in these materials formulations. Despite most of these additives currently used are derived …

Herbal dust, a waste byproduct from filter-tea production, was annealed to form ash that can
be incorporated into natural rubber as an eco-friendly filler. Three types of herbal dust ash …

In this work, a maleinized soybean oil (SOMA) was melt reacted with polyamide 6 and the
thermal, rheological, and morphological properties were evaluated. It was observed that the …

The production of consumption goods made of elastomer generates large amounts of
vulcanized residues. The final proper environmental disposal of this material is a serious …
