This work aims to present an alternative green plasticizer for natural rubber (NR)
compounds to avoid using petroleum-based plasticizer, which causes air pollution and …

Using vegetable oils as a plasticizer or processing aid in green rubber products is becoming
popular due to environmental concerns. However, differences in vegetable oil processing …

For the first time, acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR)–graphene oxide (GO) and reduced
graphene oxide (rGO) composites were prepared without cure activators: zinc oxide/stearic …

Recent advancements highlight the utilization of vegetable oils as additives in polymeric
materials, particularly for replacing conventional plasticizers. Buriti oil (BO), extracted from …

This work is a comparative study between Shea butter (SB) and treated distillate aromatic
extract oil (TDAE) as plasticizers in the vulcanization of natural rubber (NR)-carbon black …

Soybean oils having less unsaturation than conventional soybean oil (SBO) were studied as
sustainable plasticizers for ethylene‐propylene‐diene monomer (EPDM) rubber compounds …

Eggshells and mussel shells have become significant sources in the search for natural and
renewable raw materials suitable for manufacturing flexible ceramic materials. This study …

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations were employed to investigate the
effects of phospholipids on the aggregation of hydrophilic, modified carbon-nanoparticle …

Thermally conductive composites were prepared based on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)
filled with alumina, silica, and hybrid alumina and silica. The thermal conductivity and …
