Filler is one of the most important additives for wood adhesives. The introduction of filler
offers various functions for wood adhesives, such as the increase of initial viscosity, the …

Nanoclays are layered aluminosilicate nanostructures. Depending upon the chemical
composition and microscopic structure, various nanoclay types have been discovered such …

In this study, peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.)
and yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) were applied as natural fibrous fillers to create …

Viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) have attracted significant attention during the last decades,
due to their enormous potential in vibration control for building structures. However, owing to …

Nanofiller-based polymer composites are a hot-topic research area with significant industrial
potential. These polymer composites are reinforced with different classes of filler with at least …

Due to growing restrictions on the use of halogenated flame retardant compounds, there is
great research interest in the development of fillers that do not emit toxic compounds during …

Coal gasification fine slag (CFS) is a solid contaminant produced by an entrained flow
gasifier, which pollutes fields and the air in the long term. CFS is a potential polymer …

This work aims to enhance the polarity of natural rubber by grafting copolymers onto
deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) to improve its compatibility with silica. Poly (acrylic …

Carbon black commonly found in elastomeric composites is the main precursor of smoke
formed during thermal decomposition and combustion of these materials. It has been proven …

Novel composite based on rubber and modified bentonite clay (Clay) was investigated. The
modified bentonite clay was developed by dispersing in ethanol solutions (Et-OH) using …
