This paper concentrates on a study of a novel multi-sensor aided method by using acoustic and visual sensors for detection, recognition and separation of End-of Life vehicles' (ELVs) plastic materials, in order to optimize the recycling rate of automotive shredder residues (ASRs). Sensor-based sorting technologies have been utilized for material recycling for the last two decades. One of the pr...

Abstract In this research, the effect of calcium oxide (CaO) nanocrystalline particles filled ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber composites is investigated, at different weight percentages (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8 wt%) CaO using two methods mixing. one case conventional mixing on twin roll-mill was used, in other ultrasonic as a pre-mixing applied. are synthesized by precipitation meth...

Abstract Nanocomposites based on acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene–proplene diene monomer (EPDM) (50/50) filled with different concentrations of nano-waste magnetic filler (nWMF) up to 120 phr were prepared by two laboratory roll mill mixer. nWMF was characterized using XRD, TEM VSM. The nanocomposites investigated techniques: SEM, TGA, DSC. In addition the rheological, mechanic...

Few of today’s EPDM (electronic product data management) systems make use of valuable approaches in user interface design and information visualization as suggested by researchers. In this paper, we describe a design approach addressing the problems of searching, browsing, visualizing and filtering information in hierarchically structured graphs. The main problem areas we identified are the amo...

nanocomposite samples based on elastomer blends of butyl rubber (iir) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (epdm) were prepared using a laboratory scale two-roll mill in order to study the effect of cloisite 15a organoclay content (i.e., 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt%) on the mechanical and morphological properties  of  iir/epdm/cloisite  15a  nanocomposites  compared  to  the  unflled epdm/iir blends. rheo...
