Butyl rubber (polyisobutylene-co-isoprene (IIR)) is a very important commercial elastomer with many desirable physical properties, such as low air permeability and broad damping properties. The principal uses of this material are in the tire industry for the preparation of inner tubes and inner liners of passenger car tires. Despite these unique properties, there are some deficiencies associate...

Sensors are essential to the fulfillment of every condition of haptic technology, and they need simultaneously to sense shear stress as well as normal force, and temperature. They also must have a strong and simple structure, softness, and large extension. To achieve these conditions simultaneously, we enhanced the sensitivity of sensors utilizing natural rubber (NR)-latex through the applicati...

A study was conducted to determine if a surface material with antimicrobial properties combined with an effective disinfectant could achieve total clearance of bacterial contamination. Before beginning the project, new rubber picker fingers collected from 3 processing facilities were tested for endogenous microflora. Five species of bacteria common to soil and human handling were present: Bacil...

Kaolin is a mining material widely used as filler in the manufacture of various types finished goods made from natural rubber. this study was special for solid tires two-wheeled electric scooters commonly by children. The purpose to determine effect kaolin loading on curing properties rubber compound, mechanical vulcanizate, and thermal vulcanizate. varied 22 42 per hundred compounds were mixed...

The main objective of the current research work is to explore effect nanosilica particles on compound EPDM/SBR-SiO2 (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer/styrene-butadiene rubber-nanosilica). composite EPDM/SBR with and without silane coupling agent was processed using an open mill mixer. are prepared in laboratory were used as reinforcing material rubber composites. cure characteristics, mechanica...
