The enormous increase in the commercial demand for the rubber and the probability of the continuance of this increase in view of the great variety of purposes to which the material can be applied, demands a thorough understanding of its structure, composition and physical/mechanical properties. Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene rubber (HNBR) and Chlorosulphonated monomer (CSM) were investigated in...

The study deals with the Payne effect (a substantial decrease in the storage modulus of a particle-reinforced elastomer with an increase in the amplitude of mechanical oscillations). The influence of temperature, concentration of filler and amplitude and frequency of strains is analyzed on the mechanical response of filled rubbery polymers. Constitutive equations are derived using the concept o...

Hydrogen molecules dissolved in rubber due to high-pressure hydrogen gas exposure have been analyzed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with solution and solid-state probes. To analyze the characteristics of dissolved hydrogen in rubber materials and to compare them with gaseous phase hydrogen, we measured the NMR spectra of gaseous phase hydrogen and evaluated the chemical shifts and pr...

In this research, the efficiency of Recycled Glass Powder (RGP) is evaluated for improvement of polymer-modified bitumen and asphalt mixture performance. An extensive laboratory programm was undertaken for polymer-modified bitumen including Crumb Rubber (CR), Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) and Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). Rheological and mechanical proper...

Chemical processes with complex reaction mechanisms generally lead to dynamic models which, while beneficial for predicting and capturing the detailed process behavior, are not readily amenable for direct use in online applications related to process operation, optimisation, control, and troubleshooting. Surrogate models can help overcome this problem. In this research article, the first part f...

The variation of the monomeric friction coefficient of styrene butadiene copolymer (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) with various degrees of cure was analyzed. Samples with different levels of cure were prepared. Loss tangent measurements of the samples were performed by means of a damped torsion pendulum between 173 K and 373 K. Data were analyzed in the frame of the Kloczkowsky, Mark and Frisch m...
