A novel kinetic model of natural rubber sulphur vulcanization is proposed. The modeling
approach takes into account current knowledge on the different polysulfidic structures …

The kinetic model, encompassing the curing and reversion phenomena of the NR/SBR
rubber vulcanization process, was developed by means of the finite element method …

The kinetics of sulfur vulcanization of rubber presents two specific aspects: The main
crosslinking reaction is preceded by an induction period during which the crosslink density …

Devulcanization of rubber by microwave energy is an environmentally friendly technique,
and it has gained special attention from the recycling field due to several advantages over …

A robust kinetic numerical model for natural rubber NR–poly-butadiene PB blends
vulcanized with sulfur is presented. For a preliminary experimental insight used then as …

The curing kinetics, vulcanizate properties, mechanical reinforcement and chemical
interactions of organically modified nanoclay filled natural rubber (NR) and chlorobutyl …

A fast and reliable meta-model for NR vulcanized with sulphur in standard rheometer
chambers is presented. The model requires only very little input information at a fixed …

An integrated simulation tool for the optimal vulcanization of tires is presented. Three are the
main issues discussed on the optimal vulcanization of 3D items with complex geometry …

Isoconversionnal kinetic analysis was applied for the first time to the isothermal cure reaction
of an elastomer compound. The apparent activation energy obtained was almost constant …

The paper presents a novel efficient closed form approach to determine the degree of
vulcanization of natural rubber (NR) vulcanized with sulphur in presence of different …
