Studies on rubber-to-nylon tire cord bonding

bonding performance of nylon tire cord yarns in fine grained concrete

polymeric yarns for reinforcing cement composites have got great interest in all over the world. in this research the performance of bonding between nylon tire cord grad yarns, and one kind of cement composite called fine grained concrete was studied. two kinds of nylon cord yarns, nylon 6 and 66, with different finesse were selected. the durability of yarns with time in alkaline media was inve...

Rubber friction and tire dynamics.

We propose a simple rubber friction law, which can be used, for example, in models of tire (and vehicle) dynamics. The friction law is tested by comparing numerical results to the full rubber friction theory (Persson 2006 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 7789). Good agreement is found between the two theories. We describe a two-dimensional (2D) tire model which combines the rubber friction model wi...

Rubber friction for tire tread compound on road surfaces.

We have measured the surface topography and calculated the surface roughness power spectrum for an asphalt road surface. For the same surface we have measured the friction for a tire tread compound for velocities 10(-6) m s(-1) < v < 10(-3) m s(-1) at three different temperatures (at -8 °C, 20 °C and 48 °C). The friction data was shifted using the bulk viscoelasticity shift factor a(T) to form ...

Reactive Processing of Silica-reinforced Tire Rubber

Rubber Oxidation and Tire Aging - a Review

While a new tire may have excellent resistance to crack initiation and propagation between the steel belts, an aged tire of the exact same construction can exhibit dramatically reduced crack growth resistance, which in some cases may contribute to tire failure. This article will review the research that has gone into quantifying the rate of oxidation the steel belt rubber oxidizes in different ...
