Extended Abstract Direct ink writing or printing techniques offer an attractive alternative for satisfying the demanding design rules and form factors required for metallic electrodes in printed electronic and optoelectronic devices. Traditionally, the micro-fabrication of conductive patterns by electroplating and etching processes accompanied by lithography is time-consuming and expensive proc...

The Rubber Cord Adhesion Inflation Test (RCAIT) is a recently proposed test protocol to study tyre rubber-steel cord fracture (Kane et al., 2019). As in the traditional blister test, pressurised fluid injected between two adherends propagate fracture. energy, Gc, directly related strain energy stored inflated rubber. It was shown that evaluation of Gc for RCAIT depends intimately on how well hy...

The enormous increase in the commercial demand for the rubber and the probability of the continuance of this increase in view of the great variety of purposes to which the material can be applied, demands a thorough understanding of its structure, composition and physical/mechanical properties. Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene rubber (HNBR) and Chlorosulphonated monomer (CSM) were investigated in...

The strength comparison of fibre reinforced peat and clayey-silt for the compacted sub-grade by using reinforcement technique from scrap tire is presented. tires are extracted shredded into a standard size, i.e., rubber-chip, rubber-crumb, rubber-powder fibre-polyester consistency homogeneity design mix. In this study, two types fibres used, which polyester rubber crumb. at various designated p...

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have important roles in ecophysiology and atmospheric chemistry at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Tropical regions are a major global source of VOC emissions and magnitude and chemical speciation of VOC emissions are highly plant-species specific. Therefore it is important to study emissions from dominant species in tropical ...
