A Review on Vehicle Tire Elastomers and Tire Wear Particles: Composition, Degradation Mechanisms, Analytical Methods, and Predictive Multiscale Computational Modeling

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The study of the properties, chemical composition, and degradation patterns of rubber materials used in vehicle tires remains a complex and interdisciplinary task. Rubber for tires—more precisely, complex mixtures of elastomers containing fillers, plasticizers, binders, and other additives—is a condensed chemically active material, the composition and ...

Study on the Shear Performance of Plastic Rubber–Concrete Impermeable Walls for Rock‐Bound Embankments

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Shear damage at the base of seepage control walls in rock‐bound embankments presents a critical challenge in flood defense engineering. This study examines the shear behavior of plastic rubber concrete by varying rubber powder dosage (0–30 kg/m3), water–binder ratio (0.6–0.8), and rubber particle size (40–80 mesh).
