Devulcanization of Natural Rubber in Composites with Distinct Crosslink Densities by Twin-Screw Extruder [PDF]
In this study, the effects of the devulcanization process realized by an intermeshing co-rotating twin-screw extruder (ICTSE) on three vulcanized Natural Rubber (NR) composites with different crosslink densities (CD) have been investigated. The extrusion

Evolution of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in Polyamide 11 matrix composites as determined by DC conductivity [PDF]
Double-walled Carbon NanoTubes (DWCNTs) have been dispersed in a Polyamide 11 (PA11) matrix by two routes: in the solvent way, Polyamide 11 was first dissolved in its solvent to ensure a liquid state dispersion of carbon nanotubes by ultrasonic way; in ...

The Effect of Process Parameters on the Synthesis of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer Through Reactive Melt Blending [PDF]
Hypothesis: Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers are generally synthesized by one of the methods of one-shot, pre-polymer and semi pre-polymer. In the preparation of polyurethanes by these methods the viscosity is increased as the reaction progresses ...
