Wood Sawdust as a Low‐Cost Filler in Whole‐Tire Reclaimed Rubber: Mechanical Characterization and Factory‐Scale Cost Analysis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 41, November 5, 2026.
Whole‐tire reclaimed rubber is upgraded with wood sawdust, a carpentry by‐product available at no cost, across loadings from 0 to 20 wt%. At 5 wt%, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, viscosity, and water absorption all stay within commercial specification, and real factory data show an annual production saving near $62,000 with no capital ...

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

Influence of Polymer and Rubber Modification on Fatigue Crack Propagation in Asphalt Mixtures: A Cyclic SCB and Paris Law Investigation

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 5099-5116, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.

Effects of Ground Rubber Loading on Rubber Compounds Studied by the Hyphenated Rheo‐NMR and the Palierne Model

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
This article investigates the use of ground rubber as a sustainable filler for rubber compounds. Such compounds were analyzed with the unique hyphenated Rheo‐NMR setup. This setup is used to quantify the effect on the rheological behavior as an emulsion‐like blend as well as on the further vulcanization of the ground rubber particles due to sulfur ...
