Recycling of Asphalt Pavements with Asphalt Rubber

, 2008
Pavement recycling has been an important rehabilitation technique to deal with reclaimed materials from old pavements which are usually sent to landfills. The application of this technique contributes to: i) the accomplishment of the requirements defined by the European legislation for the amount of material sent to landfills; ii) the reduction in the ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Polycarbonate Vitrimers and Dynamic Co‐Networks From Epoxide/Carbon Dioxide Copolymerization

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates how CO2‐derived poly(propylene carbonate) and poly(cyclohexene carbonate) backbones influence vitrimer thermo‐mechanical behavior. By tuning backbone composition, epoxide crosslinker chemistry and blend ratios, the crosslinked materials span a wide property window, from highly extensible to stiff, glassy networks, establishing an

Are Academic Executives Greener? Evidence From China

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of executives with academic backgrounds (“academic executives”) on corporate green patents. We find that both the presence of academic executives and the proportion of academic executives have a significantly positive impact on firms' green patents, and this effect is positively associated with the firm's ...

Rubber Recycling Calendar

, 2015
An estimated 17 million tonnes of tires are discarded annually. Re-use is achieved by retreading (9%), recycling (39%), energy recovery (37%) and landfill (5%). A preferred, but complex way of recycling is to make new tires from discarded tire rubber.
