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...

The secondary use of tyre rubber is a potentially sustainable environmental solution. However, the sorption properties used-tyre have not yet been fully investigated. In this study, type (vulcanised or devulcanised part-worn rubber) that can sorb phosphate phosphorus from aqueous solutions wastewater more effectively determined. capacity granules (0.3–1.0 mm in diameter) non-devulcanised ground...

Investigation of the stationary load-deflection behaviour of tyres reveals many details of the structure and the rubber to road friction properties. These characteristics are fundamental to the understanding of the behaviour of both the stationary and the rolling tyre. In connection with racing, tyre static stiffness characteristics are of interest as they reflect on the controllability of the ...

Abstract The waste tyre-derived products, including whole tyres, tyre bales, shreds, chips, and crumb rubber, have begun to be used in various geotechnical applications. In particular, the use of bales construction a lightweight embankment on soft ground has potential satisfy demand for low-cost materials exhibiting such beneficial properties. This paper presents comparison between common mediu...

Due to limited energy resources, high energy demand and constrict emission norms led the researchers to find alternative fuel for IC engines. Due to the fossil fuel crisis, the development of alternative fuel technologies has drawn more attraction to deliver the replacement of fossil fuel. Many alternative fuels have been developed and commercialized like alcohols, biodiesel, LPG, CNG etc. pyro...

Loss of braking power and rubber skidding on a wet road is still an open physics problem, as neither the hydrodynamic effects nor the loss of surface adhesion that are sometimes blamed really manage to explain the 20-30% observed loss of low-speed tyre-road friction. Here we report a novel mechanism based on sealing of water-filled substrate pools by the rubber. The sealed-in water effectively ...
