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...

Abstract The production of tyres is one the most energy consuming manufacturing activities in rubber sector. In cycle a tyre, curing operation has maximum loss. This mostly due to extensive use steam as source heat and pressure vulcanization process. To author’s knowledge, no scientific work available literature where efficiency tyre press estimated by means comprehensive model all main compone...

This work is devoted to identifying the patterns of influence vulcanization accelerator N-cyclohexyl-benzothiazyl-sulfenamide (CBS) on technological, physico-mechanical, and thermo-physical properties vulcanizates based styrene-butadiene rubber. It was found that a decrease in content decreases maximum torque, noticeably longer time required for optimum absence CBS. The thermal conductivity inc...
