Abstract In this work, polypropylene (PP)/carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) binary blends were prepared with the elastomer component dosed in its suspension (latex) form into polymer matrix during melt compounding. For purpose, samples containing 0-20 wt.% using two different PP grades as matrices lower and higher viscosity. Analogous reference same composition also fabricated ...

Abstract Waste high-density polyethylene (w-HDPE)/ acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/ground tire rubber (GTR) have been melt blended by two-roll milling. Ternary blends of w-HDPE/ABS/GTR observed to be incompatible in the composition range studied which revealed deteriorated mechanical properties. Two main types compatibilizers such as an experimental olefin-maleic anhydride copolymer based...

This research entailed the production of composite materials through combination natural rubber and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, along with nano-silica-loaded bismuth (III) oxide, in varying concentrations ranging from 0 to 45 parts per hundred (phr). The gamma attenuation properties composites at different Bi2O3 were measured. Additionally, mechanical resulting composites, including hardnes...

An easy and cheap fabrication method for intricate polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic devices is presented. The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene scaffold-removal method uses cheap, off-the-shelf materials and equipment for the fabrication of intricate microfluidic devices. The versatility of the method is proven by the fabrication of 3D multilayer, ship-in-a-bottle, selective heating, sensing, an...

For the first time, acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR)–graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene (rGO) composites were prepared without cure activators: zinc oxide/stearic acid (ZnO/SA) studied. The vulcanization characteristics of compounds systematically studied at 160–190°C, with aid rheometer differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. NBR revealed rapid curing time (t90) greater r...
