Rubber composites based on renewable vegetable oils are being increasingly developed,
as these materials significantly reduce the use of petroleum-based carcinogenic oils as …

Bio-based oils have recently attained interest due to rising environmental concerns and the
depletion of petrochemical resources. Bio-based oils high in unsaturated fatty acids …

Vegetable oils were investigated as plasticizers to improve the sustainability of rubber
compounding. The potential use of different vegetable oils as an alternative to petroleum …

Petroleum oil derivatives have been used as a primary plasticizer in rubber compounding for
tire applications. Due to the toxicity of petroleum oil derivatives, much attention has been …

A high number of technical elastomer products contain plasticizers for tailoring material
properties. Some additives used as plasticizers pose a health risk or have inadequate …

Purpose This study aims to develop a biodegradable linear low-density polyethylene
(LLDPE)/starch blends with improved mechanical and flow characteristics and evaluate the …

Abstract A blend of SBR/NBR (50/50) reinforced with a core-shell (nanotitanium
dioxide/silica fume waste) in the presence of a silane coupling agent and polyethylene …

A series of new environment-friendly plasticizers was synthesized from castor oil and used
to plasticize nitrile rubber (NBR). The test results showed that tensile strength, elongation at …

Polymerization of soybean oil produces higher-viscosity liquids, which may serve as
processing aids and plasticizers in certain rubbers as a replacement of petrochemical oils …

Hybrid oils in an elastomer matrix provide superior physical and chemical properties over
conventional elastomer composites. In this study, we investigated the possibility of utilizing …
