Assessment of the devulcanization process of EPDM waste from roofing systems by combined thermomechanical/microwave procedures
(2020-12-02)
Article
Open AccessEthylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) is a elastomer widely used in common industrial applications. EPDM can be shaped into sheets and employed as isolating material for roofing systems. In this study, scraps of EPDM from ... -
Curing epoxy with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) surface-functionalized CoxFe3- xO4 magnetic nanoparticles
(2019-08-19)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, the bulk and surface composition of Fe3O4 supermagnetic nanoparticles were modified for efficient epoxy curing. The bare, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) capped, and cobalt (Co)-doped EDTA capped Fe3O4 ... -
Evaluation and rationale of the performance of several elastomeric composites incorporating devulcanized EPDM
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
Article
Open AccessEthylene Propylene Diene rubber (EPDM), is present in many applications. However, its crosslinked structure makes difficult its recycling. The use of devulcanized EPDM, (dEPDM) as a component of elastomeric composites, is ... -
Green approaches in rubber recycling technologies: present status and future perspective
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-06-05)
Article
Open AccessAs 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 ... -
GTR/Thermoplastics blends: how do interfacial interactions govern processing and physico-mechanical properties?
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-01-22)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, GTR/thermoplastics blends (in ratio 50/50 and 75/25 wt.%) were prepared by melt-compounding in an internal mixer. During research, trans-polyoctenamer rubber (TOR), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ... -
Influence of microwave treatment conditions of GTR on physico-mechanical and structural properties of NBR/NR/GTR composites
(2019-07-01)
Article
Open AccessThe increasing amount of tires used in the industry induces the researchers to find alternatives to the recycling of the end-of-life tires. Several alternatives in order to application of ground tire rubber GTR include ... -
Investigating the impact of curing system on structure-property relationship of natural rubber modified with brewery by-product and ground tire rubber
(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 ... -
Isothermal vulcanization and nonisothermal degradation kinetics of XNBR/Epoxy/XNBR-g-Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT) nanocomposites
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-05-27)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of several concentrations of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR)functionalized halloysite nanotubes (XHNTs) on the vulcanization and degradation kinetics ofXNBR/epoxy compounds were evaluated using ... -
Microstructural phenomena in ground tire rubber (GTR) devulcanized via combined thermochemomechanical and microwave processes monitored by FTIR and DTGA assisted by other techniques
(Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2024-09-01)
Article
Open AccessAnalyzing rubber waste is crucial for value-added recycling, but the multitude of ingredients in vulcanized networks makes it challenging to characterize cross-linked rubbers. A combination of analytical techniques is ... -
New approach in the reuse of modified ground tire rubber as thermal and acoustic insulation to be used in civil engineering
(Springer Nature, 2023-08-30)
Article
Open AccessThe concern for the amount of end-of-life tires generated each year has arisen from constant research directed to their valorisation. Herein we propose a new material, which is constituted by GTR with a binder, as acoustic ... -
Reactive processing and functionalization of ground tire rubber
(Springer, 2020)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe dynamic development of the automotive industry resulted in a significant increase in rubber wastes, especially end-of-life tires, which are a serious threat to the natural environment and human health. This situation ... -
Reactive sintering of ground tire rubber (GTR) modified by a trans-polyoctenamer rubber and curing additives
(MDPI AG, 2020-12-17)
Article
Open AccessThe proposed method of ground tire rubber (GTR) utilization involves the application of trans-polyoctenamer rubber (TOR), a commercially available waste rubber modifier. The idea was to investigate the influence of various ... -
Recycling devulcanized EPDM to improve engineering properties of SBR rubber compounds
(Elsevier, 2024-11-01)
Article
Open AccessEthylene propylene diene rubbers (EPDM) have gained substantial attention in automotive and industrial applications owing to their exceptional resistance against weathering and heat. Despite their advantages, the elastomeric ... -
Towards developing fully sustainable elastomers: the role of chemistry
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2025)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe development of sustainable polymer materials is no longer just an option but a necessity. Elastomers are indispensable members of the polymer family due to their high tensile strength, durability, energy absorption ...
