There is a growing need to find novel, sustainable solutions for elastomer reinforcement.
Many biomass polymers have been used for this purpose, including cellulose, starch, lignin …

Natural rubber (NR) has excellent mechanical properties than synthetic rubber for its strain
induced crystallization (SIC) property. It is known that crosslink density has significant …

Elastomers undergo thermo-oxidative aging when exposed to high temperatures and
oxidation, leading to material degradation and potential failure. Understanding this process …

The mechanical properties of polybutadiene rubber were studied by atomistic molecular
dynamics simulations to explore the influences of oxidation defects. Five typical systems …

In this work, an eco-friendly chitosan-based biomass macromolecular antioxidant containing
double bonds and polyphenol structure (COS-UC-GA), prepared by coupling 10-undecenoyl …

Natural rubber (NR) composites have been widely applied in damping products to reduce
harmful vibrations, while rubber with only a single composition barely meets performance …

The performance trade-off of rubber materials is a major barrier to their development. Thus,
to overcome such limitations, there is a strong need to understand the mechanisms related …

The oxidation of natural rubber (NR) leads to a decrease in mechanical properties, even
resulting in failure of NR products. Many studies focusing on this single factor have failed to …

The present study reports the preparation, characterization, and investigation of properties of
DNR/f‐Al2O3 nanocomposites through an in situ emulsion polymerization technique. The …

Four days tapping systems (d4) is dominant for latex harvesting in state farm of China.
However, now, six days tapping system (d6) is being widely adopted because of its …
