Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is a perennial shrub of the Asteraceae family native to arid southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico that produces high-quality, hypoallergenic natural rubber. processing three output streams: high-molecular weight rubber as primary product, mixture resin/low-molecular rubber, fine, dry woody bagasse. The goal this review was evaluate guayule resin source seco...

a r t i c l e i n f o Cold recycling technique represents the most environmental friendly solution for pavement rehabilitation nowadays. In fact, this technique allows the use of the highest percentage of reclaimed asphalt avoiding the energy consumption related to aggregates heating required by the traditional hot mix asphalt design. The mix design represents a key phase of the cold mix produc...

in this article the transient heat transfer in rubber parts has been studied. this study is usefull for estimation of the minimum curing time of the rubber parts and thereby to ensure the quality of the rubber. also is the temperature distribution during the rubber curing is well know, then the curing time could accurately be estimated, which will lead to a better curing process. in this regard...

The experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. A total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (Cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. There were five treatments including T0 (without rubber seed meal), T1 (10% rubber seed meal), T2 (20% rubber seed meal), and T3 (30% rubber seed meal) and T4 (4...

A resorcinol resin/water dispersion and a rubber latex are added to 1% 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpyperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TEMPO-CNFs) dispersed in water, followed by oven drying at 40 °C for 20 h prepare dried TEMPO-CNF/resorcinol resin/latex (DTRL) mixture with weight ratio of 1/0.5/3. DTRL is then nitrile-butadiene (NBR) or carboxy group-containing NBR (X-NBR) sheet,...

In this paper, the possibility of using fine scrap tyre rubber to improve mechanical properties soil subjected cyclic loading is addressed. Ground (0.1–0.8 mm) in various proportions (0, 9, 33% and 100% by weight) was mixed with a uniform river sand lean clay. Cyclic triaxial tests bender elements were executed observe behaviour materials also determine damping shear stiffness parameters. The r...

The interest in the utilization of granular waste materials as construction fills lieu quarried natural aggregates has been increasing recently, resulting more sustainable and cost-effective industry practices being adopted. This study proposes a mixture coal wash (CW; by-product mining) rubber crumbs (RC; shredding tires) potential capping composite for railways. A series cyclic triaxial tests...
