Rubber material generally behaves as an electrical insulator, but vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) is known for its electrical conductivity. Thus, we compounded styrene-butadiene rubber and carbon nanofiber (VGCF), and studied the relationship between strain and the DC electrical resistivity of vulcanized rubber filled with carbon nanofiber. No change of hardness was observed in hardness tests. ...

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...

To improve the performance of concrete, polymers are mixed with concrete. It has been observed that polymer-modified concrete (PMC) is more durable than conventional concrete due to superior strength and high durability. In this research, effect of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex on compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete has been studied and also the optimum polymer (SBR-La...

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...
