End-of-life tires are discarded on a daily basis but even at present limited action has been
taken towards boosting their recyclability as most of the tires are either incinerated or …

The extensive growth of End-of-Life Tyres (ELTs) has raised significant environmental
concerns, making ELTs recycling a crucial strategy in mitigating their impact on the …

The aim of this work was to develop and characterize styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)
composites filled with SBR industrial scraps (SBR-r) devulcanized by microwave. The SBR-r …

Ground tire rubber (GTR) was devulcanized by microwaves at the same heating rate
(constant power) and different times of exposure. The devulcanized rubber (DV-R) and …

The recycling of waste rubber has considerable significance in terms of environmental
protection and energy conservation. Considering that most of the relevant literature is …

The increasing number of scrapped tyres constitutes a global problem. One way of recycling
them is to mill the rubber waste to produce ground tyre rubber (GTR), which is utilised as a …

NBR-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites were prepared using a sodium p-
styrenesulfonate hydrate (SSS) modified LDH (LDH-SSS) filler through ion exchange. The …

Activators are essential additives in the production of industrially viable elastomeric
compounds. However, zinc oxide, the most widely used along with stearic acid, produces …

Presence of swelling soils in the foundations may cause excessive damage to the buildings,
pavements and other lightweight structures due to its differential volume changes with the …

The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the mixture sequence and
compatibilizer on the morphology and mechanical and thermomechanical properties of …
