Polystyrene-Butadiene grafted Imide-Imine for Enhancing Adhesion between Rubber and Polypropylene fibers
Acrylic acid reacted with ethylene diamine to give amide- imine oligomer. This oligomer was grafted to polystyrene-butadiene rubber. The oligomer structure was elucidated using FT-IR, 1H- NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectroscopy.Weiterlesen...
Graphene Reinforced Synthetic Isoprene Rubber Nanocomposites
Nanofillers have been investigated recently to improve desired characteristic properties of rubber nanocomposites. In this work, commercially available exfoliated Graphene nanoPlatlets (xGnPs) of types xg C750 and xg M5 were used as nanofillers and N234 was used as a traditional filler.Weiterlesen...

Functionalization of Ethylene- Propylene Rubbers with Carboxyl Groups and Properties of obtained Materials
The methods of the functionalization of ethylene-propylene (EPM) and ethylene- propylene-diene (EPDM) rubbers with carboxyl groups were elaborated. These methods are based on the radical initiated grafting of selected unsaturated carboxylated modifiers on rubbers.Weiterlesen...
Preparation of a cationic Polyacrylamide for Coagulating Natural Rubber-Latex using a Combination of Potassium Persulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide
The aim of this work was to prepare a NR latex coagulant from cationic polyacrylamide (C-PAM) using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The influence of the content of potassium persulfate, temperature, reaction time and C-PAM concentration on the solubility of C-PAM was investigated by observations of its dynamic viscosity.Weiterlesen...
