The blending of different rubbers is one of the effective methods to achieve required
performance properties in their final products. This article reviews the thermodynamic …

Polymeric nanocomposites are the materials incorporating nanosized inclusions into the
polymer matrixes. The result of the addition of nanoparticles/fibers is a drastic improvement …

The evolution process of the crosslinking structure in sulfur-cured natural rubber (NR) under
the combined effect of compressive stress and temperature was investigated using a …

In this work, effects of two-dimensional (2D) montmorillonite (MMT) on physical/mechanical/
dynamic properties and rolling resistance of a model tire rubber were assessed. To achieve …

Mullins effect of carbon black filled nitrile butadiene rubber compounds and vulcanizates
during cyclic tensile deformation is investigated and the influences of thermal annealing of …

Although the concept blending two or more polymers is not novel, the significance of this has
paved way for the invention of new high-performance materials which could make …

The present study describes the synthesis of novel bigels as delivery matrices for controlled
delivery applications. The bigels were prepared by mixing agar hydrogel and stearyl alcohol …

The paper presents experimental research and viscoelastic modeling of stress relaxation
response of isotropic magnetorheological elastomer (MRE). The isotropic MRE has been …

Bigels of sunflower oil, span 40 and water soluble synthetic polymers (eg polyvinyl alcohol
