Exposure to rubber fume and rubber process dust in the general rubber goods, tyre manufacturing and retread industries

A small survey of exposure to rubber process dust, rubber fume and N-nitrosamines

Barrierity of hydrogenated butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber and butyl rubber after exposure to organic solvents.

Resistance of antichemical clothing primarily depends on the type of material it is made from, in particular on the type of polymer used for coating the fabric carrier. This paper reports on systematic investigations on the influence of the cross-linking density of an elastomer and the composition of a cross-linked elastomer on its resistance to permeation of selected organic solvents. Tests of...

Sand – rubber mixtures ( large rubber chips )

Mixtures of small rigid sand particles Ds and large soft rubber particles Dr are prepared at different volume fractions and tested to investigate their small-strain and zero-lateral strain responses (Dr /Ds & 10). Both data sets are simultaneously gathered in an oedometer cell instrumented with bender elements. Data are analyzed in the context of mixture theory and with the aid of numerical sim...

Study On Waste Tyre Rubber As Concrete Aggregates

At present the disposal of waste tyres is becoming a major waste management problem in the world. It is estimated that 1.2 billions of waste tyre rubber produced globally per year. It is estimated that 11% of post consumer tyres are exported and 27% are sent to landfill, stockpiled or dumped illegally and only 4% is used for civil engineering projects. Hence efforts have been taken to identify ...

Hyperelastic Material Models of Rubber and Rubber-like Materials

ABSTRACT The variety of applications of rubber-like materials in different industrial areas is enormous. In the automotive industry rubber is utilized in tires, as engine and door seals, whereas in aerospace industry rubber rings are used in fuel systems. In other engineering fields, rubbers have been used in conveyor belts, meteorological balloons and vibration isolation bearings or shock and ...
