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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The asphalt industry faces growing challenges from stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mandates and diminishing high-quality virgin material reserves. This review paper positions upcycling as the engineered transfor...

As key materials for medical devices and consumables, biomedical elastomer materials play a significant role in improving people's health and quality of life. The biomedical elastomer material industry has broad applicat...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

This study investigated the potential of polyvinylpyrrolidone-grafted graphene (PGR) for secondary reinforcement of SBS and microwave-activated crumb rubber (ACR) modified asphalt, aiming to clarify the underlying mechan...

Background Occupational exposure to azodicarbonamide (ADCA) can occur via the respiratory tract or through skin in workplaces, e.g., in the production of plastics and rubber where it is used as a foaming agent or a poros...

Abstract The shift from internal combustion engines to electric powertrains has redefined the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) profile of contemporary vehicles. The reduction of engine-generated broadband noise has ...

We used dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to evaluate soy flour adhesives made with and without a conventional crosslinking agent, polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE). Fixed-frequency and constant strain rate studies re...

Abstract Over the past two decades, agricultural exports in Southeast Asia have surged due to trade liberalization and rising global food demand. This study examines the environmental impacts of agricultural exports in A...

Abstract Integrating magnetic field evasion and obstacle avoidance is crucial for the safe operation of intelligent robots, yet the limited sensitivity and discrete structure of magnetic field/pressure dual-mode sensors ...

Polyisoprene (PI), whether naturally or synthetically produced, is used in rubber compounds for many applications, such as tires, belts, and shoes. The effect of Nano ternary silica (NTS) addition on the thermal and mech...

Abstract Vision-based robotic triaxial tactile sensing provides superior spatial resolution and rich multimodal data. However, employing rigid CMOS imagers suffers from limitations in mechanical flexibility and large-are...
