Friction and Wear Displayed by the Scratch of Epoxy filled by recycled Rubber Particles
The application of floor materials made of epoxy resins is limited due to their brittleness. Paraffin oil and recycled rubber particles were added to epoxy.Weiterlesen...
Industrial Benchmark PU-Foams with expandable Graphite/P-Flame Retardant Combinations
Polyurethane foams (PUF) are generally flammable, so they are limited in some applications due to strict fire safety requirements. In this study, three distinct industrial benchmark polyurethane foams containing synergistic combinations of expandable graphite (EG) and phosphorous flame retardants (P-FR) were investigated one by one for their fire performance and smoke behavior.Weiterlesen...
Die K als Schaufenster der Branche
Die K war für die Kautschukbranche gleich das zweite Großereignis im Jahr 2022. Ende Juni fand bereits in Nürnberg die Deutsche Kautschuktagung (DKT) statt. Doch die Unternehmen hatten zur K weitere Neuentwicklungen zu präsentieren.Weiterlesen...
Synthesis and Characterization of EPDM loaded with Zinc/Carbon black Hybrid Filler
The rubber was loaded with hybrid fillers of carbon black (CB) and Zinc (Zn) metal. The hybrid filler consists of CB (30 phr ISAF + 40 phr SRF) as a primary fixed filler and Zn metal (5, 20, 40, 60 and 75 phr) as a secondary filler where ISAF and SRF are the well-known Intermediate Super Abrasion Furnace carbon black and Semi Reinforcing Furnace carbon black.Weiterlesen...

Reinforcing Mechanisms of Filler hybrid Systems based on Nano-scale Rubber Particles and Silica
It was found that in unvulcanized compounds filler flocculation was reduced by either silanization or by the addition of Nanoprene. The reduction of filler flocculation was most pronounced when the silica compound contained Nanoprene and was also silanized. The good filler dispersion, which was achieved by the combination of both measures, was preserved during and after vulcanization.Weiterlesen...
Bioabbaubarer Kunststoff als Klimasünder?
In einer jüngst veröffentlichten Studie wurde das Verhalten konventioneller und bioabbaubarer Kunststoffe im Erdreich untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich: Mikroorganismen zersetzen das bioabbaubare Material und stoßen dabei CO₂ aus.Weiterlesen...
Engineered Polysaccharides and Reinforcement of Elastomers
The subject of this work is on the study of an engineered polysaccharide system as reinforcing filler for rubber composites. This new class of tailored polysaccharides is based on the direct and selective enzymatic polymerization of sucrose in water to α-1.3-glucans with tailored morphologies. The incorporation of this filler system by latex compounding with NBR showed clearly a reinforcing effect in several physical properties.Weiterlesen...
