Use of hydrocarbon resins as an alternative to TDAE oil in tire tread compounds

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2023
The increasing demand on passenger car tires requires a continuous effort of tire manufacturers to improve their performance and safety. Achieving a balance between the three properties that form the “Magic Triangle of Tires” is one of the biggest ...

Characterization of Counter-Surface Substrates for a Laboratory Abrasion Tester (LAT100) Compared with Asphalt and Concrete to Predict Car Tire Performance

open access: yesLubricants, 2022
Tire performance is determined based on the interaction between the tire and the road as a counter-surface, and is of the utmost importance for driving safety.

Network formation of low molecular weight ‘liquid’ polymers studied by gel permeation chromatography and stress-strain analysis according to Mooney-Rivlin

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2023
The rheological and mechanical properties of elastomers are defined by their different networks: The crosslink network and the filler network. The crosslink network is influenced by the polymer structure.

Parameter optimization for a laboratory friction tester to predict tire ABS braking distance using design of experiments

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2020
Predicting tire friction in a laboratory environment is a complicated issue. Varying one factor at the time for experimenting to obtain insight into tire friction does not necessarily provide a proper judgment.

On the various roles of 1,3-DIPHENYL Guanidine in silica/silane reinforced sbr/br blends

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate the various roles of 1,3-DiPhenyl Guanidine (DPG) in silica-reinforced rubber compounds. Two roles of DPG are well known to be: adsorption onto silica surface to reduce the acidic sites and second to boost the ...

Printing on liquid elastomers [PDF]

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2020
We propose a robust fluid-mediated route for the rapid fabrication of soft elastomers architected with liquid inclusions. Our approach consists of printing water at the surface of an immiscible liquid elastomer bath, which subsequently cures.

Silicone elastomer map: design the ideal elastomer [PDF]

open access: yesElectroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) XXI, 2019
Soft, stretchable and light-weight transducers are most sought after for research on advanced applications like stretchable electronics, soft robotics and energy harvesters. Stretchable electronics require elastomers that have high elongation at break, high dielectric permittivity and high breakdown strength.

Silica-Reinforced Natural Rubber: Synergistic Effects by Addition of Small Amounts of Secondary Fillers to Silica-Reinforced Natural Rubber Tire Tread Compounds

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Modern fuel-saving tire treads are commonly reinforced by silica due to the fact that this leads to lower rolling resistance and higher wet grip compared to carbon black-filled alternatives.
