    • Assessment of microstructure, physical and thermal properties of bitumen modified with LDPE/GTR/elastomer ternary blends 

      Formela, Krzysztof; Sulkowski, Michal; Reza Saeb, Mohammad; Colom Fajula, Xavier; Haponiuk, Josef T (2016-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      LDPE/GTR/elastomer ternary blends with variable LDPE/GTR ratio and constant elastomer content were prepared via melt-compounding. Obtained LDPE/GTR/elastomer blends were applied as thermoplastic modifiers into bitumen. ...
    • Green approaches in rubber recycling technologies: present status and future perspective 

      Wisniewska, Paulina; Haponiuk, Josef T; Colom Fajula, Xavier; Saeb, Mohammad Reza (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-06-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      As a consequence of massive production and consumption of rubbers, rubber blends, and rubber composites for myriad applications, elastomeric products have enormously accumulated and become an environmental threat. The ...
    • Investigating the impact of curing system on structure-property relationship of natural rubber modified with brewery by-product and ground tire rubber 

      Zedler, Lukasz; Colom Fajula, Xavier; Cañavate Ávila, Francisco Javier; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Haponiuk, Josef T; Formela, Krzysztof (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03-03)
      Article
      Open Access
      The 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 ...
    • Thermoplastic elastomers filled with GTR 

      Formela, Krzysztof; Haponiuk, Josef T; Wang, S.; Colom Fajula, Xavier (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018-10-03)

      Rubber is used in a vast number of products, from tyres on vehicles to disposable surgical gloves. Increasingly both manufacturers and legislators are realising that recycling is essential for environmental sustainability ...
    • Towards developing fully sustainable elastomers: the role of chemistry 

      Wisniewska, Paulina; Haponiuk, Josef T; Hejna, Aleksander; Colom Fajula, Xavier; Saeb, Mohammad Reza (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2025)
      Article
