Abstract Bis-(γ-triethoxysilylpropyl)-tetrasulfide TESPT (Si69) is the most popular silane
coupling agent for green tires. However, a large amount of alcohol vapours (a kind of volatile …

In this research, 3 different low degrees (4, 8, and 14 mol%) of epoxide functionalized
natural rubber were prepared via chemical modification of natural rubber, which was then …

The partial or total replacement of carbon black by silica fillers is initiated through various
techniques for environment-friendly, smart, and fuel-efficient NR composites for high-end …

Abstract γ-Piperazin propylmethyl dimethoxysilane (HD-110) was introduced into silicone
rubber containing platinum catalyst to enhance the tracking and erosion resistance by two …

A rubber composite was prepared by using methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) to modify silica
(SiO2) and epoxidized eucommia ulmoides gum (EEUG) as rubber additives to endow silica …

In the present scenario, the entire world is concerned about producing more environment
friendly and sustainable products by reducing the carbon footprint, especially in elastomer …

Mixing silica-reinforced rubber for tire tread compounds involves high shear forces and
temperatures to obtain a sufficient degree of silanization. Natural Rubber (NR) is sensitive to …

The filler–rubber interface is crucial in preparing ideal filled rubber composites. Interface
modifiers are typically used for enhancing silica–rubber interactions and facilitating silica …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely used in elastomer composites, primarily as vulcanization
activators or accelerators, crosslinkers, conductive additives, or dispersing agents of fillers …

In this paper, a novel interfacial modifier, namely 2‐hexylthiouronium bromide (HTB), for
silica has been synthesized and applied into silica‐filled natural rubber (NR) composites …
