(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03-03)
Article
Open AccessThe application of wastes as a filler/reinforcement phase in polymers is a new strategy to modify the performance properties and reduce the price of biocomposites. The use of these fillers, coming from agricultural waste ... -
Microwave treatment in waste rubber recycling – Recent advances and limitations
(2019-06-01)
Article
Open AccessEnvironmentally-friendly microwave heating is increasingly used in polymer chemistry and technology. The selectivity and highly efficiency in the heat transfer present a huge advantage in systems based on recycling, improving ... -
Preliminary investigation on auto-thermal extrusion of ground tire rubber
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-06-28)
Article
Open AccessGround tire rubber (GTR) was processed using an auto-thermal extrusion as prerequisite to green reclaiming of GTR. The reclaimed GTR underwent a series of tests: thermogravimetric analysis combined with Fourier-transform ... -
Preparation and characterization of natural rubber composites highly filled with brewers' spent grain/ground tire rubber hybrid reinforcement
(Elsevier, 2018-07-15)
Article
Open AccessBrewers' spent grain (BSG) and ground tire rubber (GTR) were applied as low-cost hybrid reinforcement natural rubber (NR). The impact of BSG/GTR ratio (in range: 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100 phr) on processing and ... -
Processing and structure-property relationships of natural rubber/wheat bran biocomposites
(2016-10-01)
