the blending of nr and br rubber blend with n330 carbon black is studied on curing behavior and the physico-mechanical properties of a sbr rubber based tire tread compound containing n234 carbon black. the effect of sulphur and accelerator contents on different properties of rubber compound is also tested with a wide range of curing agents. partial substitution of sbr with nr shows significant ...

Peat is a notoriously problematic soil having high-water content, large void ratio, and weak engineering properties. Thus, it needs to be treated before utilization withstand structural stress. On the other hand, amount of waste tires increases exponentially due high demand for vehicles. Therefore, they need sustainably recovered recycled rather than disposed or incinerated. This study aimed st...
