The continuous searching of non-petroleum based green natural fillers is an appealing
challenge in modern rubber research. In the recent times, rubber researchers have given …

A novel supramolecular network based on carboxylic styrene butadiene rubber (XSBR) and
chitosan (CTS) is prepared through solution mixing process. XSBR molecular chains have …

Hot-mix asphalts exposed to hot weather and high traffic volumes can display rutting
distress. A material that can be used to increase the stiffness of asphalt binders is gilsonite …

Sepiolite reinforced epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) composites were prepared by
incorporation different loadings of sepiolite. Curing characteristics, mechanical properties …

The element “carbon” is the sixth most abundant element in Earth. It is a basic element of life
and is very special since it has the ability to bond with other elements by various means …

Gilsonite is a natural, brittle, and glisten tar hydrocarbon, which widely uses in the chemical,
