Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were incorporated into an EPDM/SBR rubber/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composite by melt blending of HNTs the blend. The mechanical properties, abrasion and swelling resistance ranging from 2 parts per hundred (phr) to 10 investigated in base rubber. Tensile strength, 100% modulus (modulus at elongation), elongation break tear strength evaluated ambient temperature...

In this work, black nanocarbon-loaded 0–100 parts-per-hundred (phr) PbO-filled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/styrene-butadiene (SBR) blend composites were prepared by using an ordinary standard mixer. Both mechanical and gamma attenuation properties of the samples investigated. Maximum tensile strength elongation at break obtained 40 phr PbO concentration. The values for mass coefficient...

Fly ash (FA) is produced as a waste byproduct during the burning process of coal in thermal power plants whose cost is primarily associated to cleaning and transportation. It possesses mechanical properties on account of its constituents like silica and alumina. The use of FA as filler in styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) was of researchers’ interest to reinforce and/or to reduce product cost. In ...

Abstract One relatively new additive for rubber compound named oleamide was made from urea and oleic acid of palm oil. The applied in compounding technology; by adding it to styrene butadiene (SBR)/silica compound. silica added at 30 parts per hundred SBR, whilst the loaded silica-filled SBR with varying amounts i.e., 2 8 phr and, those SBR/silica/oleamide compounds were vulcanized 150 °C apply...

In this paper, three composite agents (i.e. emulsified asphalt, EA; styrene butadiene rubber, SBR; rubber powder, RP) were employed to modify the cement stabilized macadam (CSM) for optimal design of semi-rigid base materials. The feasibility utilizing EA/SBR/RP composites in is investigated from perspectives modification mechanism and durability performance. To investigate effects different mo...

Sulfur (S) cross-linking styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) foams show high shrinkage due to the cure reversion, leading to reduced yield and increased processing cost. In this paper, double cross-linking system by S and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was used to decrease the shrinkage of SBR foams. Most importantly, the synergy of double cross-linking agents was reported for the first time to our knowledg...

Silicon anodes require polymer binder systems that are both mechanically robust and electrochemically stable, to accommodate the dramatic volume expansion experienced during cycling operation. Herein, we report use of a poly(acrylic acid)-grafted styrene–butadiene rubber (PAA-g-SBR) with 80% partially neutralized Na-PAA as system for silicon-graphite anodes. The PAA-g-SBR graft copolymer was sy...

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at low temperature (1.2 K) and high magnetic field (3.3 T) was applied to a contrast variation study in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) focusing on industrial rubber materials. By varying the scattering contrast by DNP, time-of-flight SANS profiles were obtained at the pulsed neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The c...
