Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of rubber seed cake (RSC) supplementation on slaughter performance, intestinal health, and gut microbiota in Hu sheep. Forty-eight Hu sheep (17.01 ± 0.57 kg; 3 m...

Natural rubber (NR) has gained a renewed attention as an eco-friendly material which have lower carbon footprints, particularly in comparison to synthetic rubbers. However, the production of block rubber from cup lump re...

As estruturas envolvidas na produção de látex na seringueira são os laticíferos articulados. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever aspectos anatômicos da casca em seringueiras não enxertadas com quatro, seis e oit...

Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

To illustrate the variation laws of strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures, a series of laboratory tests including direct shear tests, unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning elect...

The widespread application of supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO₂) in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies imposes increasing requirements on pipeline sealing materials. As crucial sealing compo...

Conventional sulfur vulcanization in rubber manufacturing depends on elevated curing temperatures and zinc oxide activators, resulting in high energy consumption and increasing environmental concerns associated with zinc...

Nanocomposites, especially natural rubber (NR), have been extensively studied for their unique features and superior performance in tire applications. The present research investigated the impact of zinc oxide nanopartic...

The global shift towards sustainable bioenergy demands not only improved biomass upgrading methods but also credible validation of their techno-economic and environmental feasibility at an industrial scale. Torrefaction ...

The performance of asphalt mixtures modified with 7% and 10% waste tire and solid natural rubber is assessed in this study, along with the effects of replacing fine aggregate with these materials. According to binder tes...

Waste tires constitute environmental problems because of their three-dimensional complicated structure. The presence of different additives within their composition makes them difficult to degrade. In this research, the ...

This study investigates the functional modification of ternary ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM) with benzamine phenol formaldehyde (BPFO) to enhance its properties and compatibility with butadiene-nitrile rubber (NBR). S...

Abstract The materials used in this work are locally produced Styrene Butadiene Rubber , with different silicate filler percent of (20,40,60,80,100) part per hundred rubber . Mechanical properties (Tensile, Hardness, Te...

Abstract Recovery behaviors from circular deformation of styrene butadiene rubber were studied at different aging circumstances. SBR1502, VLS2525, NS116, were the material used to make different types of SBR. Circular de...

Electrical conductivity variation with temperature in therange (303-368)K during heating and cooling has been studied forirradiated SMR material using Alpha and Beta - particles and Gammarays. It was found that the value...

A seringueira na fase adulta possui um crescimento intermitente com o processo de troca de folhas, que é caracterizado pela senescência. Esse é um mecanismo que as árvores utilizam para reciclarem os nutrientes, por ...

Avaliou-se o desempenho de cordeiros alimentados com dieta completa formulada com diferentes proporções de feno de maniçoba. Foram utilizados 32 animais Santa Inês machos, não-castrados (idade inicial de 70 dias e p...

ABSTRACT In this reaserch the effect of adding the Silica filler with amounts (25,50,75,100)parts per 100 parts of the rubber Styrein-Butadien(SBR),on the mechanical properties and homogenity of the SBR was studied.It wa...

Rubber plants are important crops in various countries. Rubber plants have many benefits for human life. Rubber plant diseases cause many losses to farmers. Lack of knowledge and information regarding the treatment of ex...

High-consistency silicone rubbers can be foamed with various chemical and physical blowing agents. However, due to the toxic and, therewith, harmful effects of chemical blowing agents, physical blowing agents are becomin...

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to investigate the tensile properties of epoxy/graphene nano-platelets/carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber ternary nanocomposites. Box–Benhken method was used ...

In this article, multiwalled carbon nanotube/natural rubber composites with resistance-strain sensitivity were prepared by solution method, when the electrical percolation threshold of multiwalled carbon nanotube is only...

Combining densification with torrefaction can substantially improve fuel properties, including energy content, grindability, and hydrophobicity, enabling torrefied pellets to replace coal in pulverized fuel boilers. This...
