    In this work, ground tire rubber (GTR) was thermo-mechanically treated in the presence of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymers. During preliminary investigation, the effects of different SBS copolymer grades, the ...
  • Evaluation and rationale of the performance of several elastomeric composites incorporating devulcanized EPDM 

    Colom Fajula, Xavier; Carrillo Navarrete, Fernando; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Marin Genesca, Marc; Formela, Krzysztof; Cañavate Ávila, Francisco Javier (Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Ethylene 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 ...
  • A circular approach to discarded textiles: using depolymerized polyester as a precursor for the synthesis of antibacterial Cu(bdc) metal–organic frameworks 

    Dias Dutra, Joyce Gabriella; de Souza Santana, Marcos Henrique; Ko, Yelin; Lis Arias, Manuel José; Maesta Bezerra, Fabricio; Pereira Moisés, Murilo; Hinestroza, Juan P. (2022-08-31)
    Article
    Open Access
    We report on the synthesis of Cu(bdc) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) using discarded polyester fabrics as a raw material and on the evaluation of these MOFs as antibacterial coatings. Discarded PET (polyethylene terephthalate) ...
