Tire wear particles (TWP) are both abundant and potentially toxic types of microplastic (MP) in the coastal ocean. We tested effects TWP type (new tires, old rubber granules from artificial turfs) concentration (10–10,000 L?1) on feeding, reproduction fecal pellet production two common copepods at high (400 ?g C low (40 food consisting a cryptophyte Rhodomonas sp. did not observe any effect env...

A simplified FE tire model has capability to solve a large deformation of a tire on a vehicle running simulation with acceptable computation time. We tried to simulate a vehicle cornering by using simplified FE tire models and a vehicle model which has a detailed kinematical structure of suspensions.1 Introduction Introduction of CAE in an automobile design is progressing in various fields, and...

This study presents the development of natural rubber-Ca/P blends, as promising candidates for biomedical purposes. The specific objective was the incorporation of Ca/P into a natural rubber polymeric matrix. Ca/P crystalline phases were synthesized by the sol-gel method and the polymeric matrices were produced using natural rubber extracted from latex of the Hevea brasiliensis. The shape and s...

The liquefaction of saturated sandy soils during dynamic loading can inflict excessive damage on the structures, leading to significant human and economic losses. Recycling reusing industrial waste materials may offer a sustainable solution this problem. This study investigates influence two materials, namely, recycled fly ash tire crumb rubber, characteristics sand. For purpose, loose medium-d...

Title of Document: INVESTIGATING CRUMB RUBBER AMENDMENTS FOR EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SUBSTRATES Sonia Lorelly Solano Torres, MS, 2010 Directed By: John D. Lea-Cox, PhD. Chair, Plant Sciences and Landscape Architecture Department Extensive green roof systems can mitigate urban stormwater by capturing rainfall and reducing runoff volume. Green roof substrates, often made from expanded shales, slates...

Management of waste tires has become a leading environmental issue due to the global growth in number produced annually. This work is focused on exploring use Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) new class cost-effective, recycled composite materials. A Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) desktop 3D printer used produce GTR-based material with up 50% wt. rubber filling. ABS as host matrix. Both microscopic an...

Nowadays, the study of preparing silica/rubber composites, which can be used in “green 16 tire”, in energy saving method is fast-growing. In our work, silica modified by using alcohol 17 polyoxyethylene ether (AEO) and 3-Mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (K-MEPTS) together were 18 investigated. Thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) result indicated that both AEO and K-MEPTS 19 could be grafted on the ...

Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA)/Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) blends using Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a crosslinking agent were prepared with the following aims: propose new route to recycle wastes rubber from automotive industry and improve toughness impact strength of inherently brittle bio-based PLA. The GTR subjected two types grinding process (cryo- dry ambient grinding). Swelling measurements revealed...
