Azelis to represent Robinson Brothers in Germany for rubber applications
Specialty chemicals distributor Azelis headquartered in Great Britain, will represent Robinson Brothers in Germany for the promotion and distribution of the Robac Technology range. The portfolio includes a wide range of products for the rubber industry.Weiterlesen...
Novel modified Natural Rubber with Chitosan Nanofibers
The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize the nanofiber obtained from epoxidized natural rubber-g-chitosan (ENR-g-CTS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blends. The preparation of ENR-g-CTS/PVA blend nanofibers was carried out using the electrospinning technique. The morphology of the ENR-g-CTS/PVA blend nanofiber was confirmed by SEM, TEM and AFM.Weiterlesen...
The Comparison of Radiation and a Peroxide Crosslinking of Elastomers
Radiation crosslinking of elastomers is an interesting example of a modification of polymers by means of ionizing radiation. The practical significance of crosslinking can be connected to traditional (using peroxides) with radiation treatment. The aim of this study was to describe the phenomenon of mixed radiation/peroxide and peroxide/radiation crosslinking thermoplastic elastomers Engage 8200 [1, 2, 3].Weiterlesen...
To Pass a Long Way
As LIM processes can be quite challenging a thorough understanding of not only the part, but of the whole mold and process are essential for molders to stay competitive. With the help of the Virtual Molding approach one can look into the process upfront and make secure decisions on material, mold and process.Weiterlesen...
Optimisation of nonlinear Material Parameter in uniaxial Compression Tests of Elastomer Specimen involving Friction
The determination of mechanical material parameters of elastomers is not easily possible. This is due to the fact that mechanical properties strongly depend on the composition of the underlying rubber compound and its manufacturing process.Weiterlesen...
Silanes for Energy Efficient Elastomers
The most mechanical rubber goods are based on carbon black filled compounds. Rubber compounds which have to withstand dynamic-mechanical forces are investigated in detail.Weiterlesen...

The two US-American chemical giants, DuPont and Dow Chemical have announced on Friday, December 11, that their boards of directors unanimously approved a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals.Weiterlesen...
Structural Characterization of Rubber from Lactarius Volemus through 2D-NMR Spectroscopy
Assignments of small signals appearing in 1H- and 13C-NMR-spectra were made for naturally occurring cis-1,4-polyisoprene isolated from Lactarius Volemus (LV rubber) based on the correlations measured by 2D-NMR spectroscopy.Weiterlesen...
High Quality Rubber Components with Modern Vacuum Technology
Gummikleinteile für die Medizintechnik sind das Hauptprodukt der Datwyler Pharma Packaging Italy. Im Werk in Montegaldella (VI) werden vornehmlich Gummiteile für Spritzenkolben und Verschlussdeckel für sterile Produkte produziert. Beim Formvorgang der Gummiteile nutzt der Verarbeiter Schrauben-Vakuumtechnologie. Die Anlage ist mit vier Schrauben-Vakuumpumpen ausgestattet, um Luft- oder Gaseinschlüsse in den Gummiteilen zu vermeiden.Weiterlesen...
