Elastomers play an irreplaceable role in our society due to their unique properties. Natural rubber is directly obtained from plants and widely used tires, shoes, etc. Recently, modified natural rubbers are proposed expand the application of rubber. However, these have a limited variety molecular structures may not be able meet ever-demanding applications. Traditional synthetic elastomers prope...

Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

Natural rubber (NR) has unique properties which are unmatched by synthetic and is used in over 50,000 products. The only commercial source of NR the Para tree (Hevea brasiliensis) insecure because increasing demand, price instability, high labor costs, trade politics, competition with other crops, deforestation bans preventing new H. brasiliensis acreage, disease. Taraxacum kok-saghyz, root dan...

Abstract: Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation is a major land use practiced in Xishuangbanna of south-western China. Effects of rubber plantation (RP) and tea-rubber intercropping (TRI) systems on soil organic carbon pools were evaluated by recording changes in soil organic carbon in an age sequence of 12-, 20-, 26-, and 40-year old plantations. Labile organic carbon (LOC) increased in ...

Lignocellulosic fillers have attracted considerable attention over the years as a promising alternative to conventional petroleum-based (carbon black) in rubber composites due their renewability, biodegradability, availability, high mechanical properties, low density and cost. Based on literature available, comprehensive review is presented here of biocomposites reinforced with plant-based fill...

Synthetic polymer materials are in high demand due to their exceptional properties. Their main consumers the tire and rubber industries. When producing synthetic rubbers, there is a loss of form fine crumb rubber, which formed at final stage production. Today, removal this from wastewater latex extraction plants an urgent issue. The results study on crumbs presented. task solved by using appara...
