Highly controlled polymers and nanostructures are increasingly translated from the lab to the
industry. Together with the industrialization of complex systems from renewable sources, a …

Graphene oxide (GO) with various oxidation degrees were prepared through a modified
Hummer's method by varying the dosage of oxidizing agent. Styrene-butadiene rubber …

An important role of the zinc stearate (ZnSt2) activator in the sulfur cross-linking reaction of
isoprene rubber is proved by combination of 1H double-quantum nuclear magnetic …

The localization of the rubber vulcanization reaction close to the silica filler surface was
investigated in isoprene rubber composites (IR NCs): the main goal was to highlight the role …

Degradation of polymer blends occurs by the constituent phases undergoing distinct
chemical changes that depend on their unique chemical structures. This makes predicting …

A knowledge of the distribution of cross-link densities (CDs) in the constituent rubber phases
of an elastomer blend is essential to understand its overall service properties, but phase …

Blends of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were prepared by
solution mixing and vulcanized with sulfur and accelerator in a Semi-EV system at 433 K …

In this work, a reinforcing organoclay montmorillonite (OMMT)(ie, 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 phr)
and novel alloys were prepared, which significantly improved the thermal, mechanical and …

In this study, an applicative-oriented epoxy–amine thermoset was toughened with 1, 3, and
5 wt% of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) core–shell-particles (CSP), and the influence of the …

In this study, accelerated creep and dynamic fatigue crack propagation (FCP)
measurements were carried out on fully bio-based epoxy-amine thermoset resins …
