The weak connection performances between the waterproof adhesive layer, bridge deck, and asphalt pavement are important factors that cause deck slippage upheaval affect safety durability of bridge. In this paper, styrene-butadiene-styrene- (SBS-) modified asphalt, SBS-emulsified rubber-modified AMP-100 materials selected to study performance layer in seasonal frozen region. shear strength bond ...

In the annals of history the evolution of the synthetic rubber industry can be traced to the early 1930s where the first emulsion polymerised styrene butadiene rubber known as Buna S was prepared by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. But it was not until the US Government in 1940 established the Rubber Reserve Company, a stockpile of natural rubber and the development of a synthetic rubber progr...

Suberin is a natural polyester providing the impermeability and mechanical damping of plant cell walls. It fascinating because ester bonds in suberin can be easily hydrolyzed to provide various functional chemical precursors for further applications. This study investigates an unprecedented way tailor energy-absorbing capabilities silica-reinforced styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites by i...

In recent years, the use of crumb rubber as modifier or additive within asphalt concretes has allowed obtaining mixtures able to bind high performances to recovery and reuse of discarded tires. To date, the common technologies that permit the reuse of rubber powder are the wet and dry ones. In this paper, a dry-hybrid technology for the production of Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures is proposed. I...

Organic sticky contaminants represent one of the biggest technical challenges in paper recycling process. These reduce strength, cause plugging wires and felts, stick to or deposit on machine parts affecting runnability machine. The removal these is difficult achieve along process due heterogeneous nature organic contaminants. In this study, multiple wastepaper grades was analyzed characterized...

In this investigation, rheological properties of three different polymer-modified bitumen compounds containing recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET), crumb rubber (CR) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) are evaluated and compared. The modified samples were tested by a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) where complex modulus (G*), phase angle (δ) and rutting resistance (G*/Sinδ) of spec...

Silicon (Si) is recognized as a promising anode material for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, under condition of electrode comparable to commercial graphite anodes with low binder content and high density, the practical use Si limited due huge volume change associated Si-Li alloying/de-alloying. Here, we report novel core-shell composite, having reversible capacity ~ 500 mAh ...
