Chemical mapping of tire and road wear particles for single particle analysis

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2021
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP), which are comprised of polymer-containing tread with pavement encrustations, are generated from friction between the tire and the road. Similar to environmentally dispersed microplastic particles (MP), the fate of TRWP depends on both the mass concentration as well as individual particle characteristics, such as ...

Test method for abrasion behavior of tire tread compounds using the wear particles

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2022
The abrasion behavior of model tire tread compounds was characterized by the shapes and size distributions of their wear particles. Carbon black-filled NR/BR vulcanizates with varying compositions (NR/BR = 100/0, 80/20, and 60/40) were used.

Car and truck tire wear particles in road dust samples - A quantitative comparison with traditional microplastic polymer mass loads

open access: yes, 2023
This data set provides quantitative mass loads of tire wear particles (TWP) and traditional microplastics (C-PE, C-PP, C-PS, C-PVC, C-PMMA, C-PET, C-PC, C-MDI-PUR) in the urban environment. A differentiation between car and truck tire wear (CTT and TTT)

A new approach to numerical characterisation of wear particle surfaces in three-dimensions for wear study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In the wear and tear process of synovial joints, wear particles generated and released from articular cartilage within the joints have surface topography and mechanical property which can be used to reveal wear conditions. Three-dimensional (3D) particle

Quantification of tire and road wear particles in the environment [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2012
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are produced during the interaction of a tire with the roadway surface when the vehicle is in motion. In order to assess the potential global environmental and human health impact of TRWP, air and sediment samples were collected in 3 watersheds: the Seine River watershed in France, the Yodo River watershed in Japan ...

Brake and tire particles measured from on-road vehicles: Effects of vehicle mass and braking intensity

open access: yesAtmospheric Environment: X, 2021
Vehicle exhaust emissions have been decreasing due to stricter regulations and advancements in control strategies. However, non-exhaust emissions from brake and tire wear have not been extensively regulated in the past, and their relative contribution to

Concentrations of Tire Additive Chemicals and Tire Road Wear Particles in an Australian Urban Tributary

open access: yesEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2022
Tire road wear particles (TRWPs) are one of the largest sources of microplastics to the urban environment with recent concerns as they also provide a pathway for additive chemicals to leach into the environment. Stormwater is a major source of TRWPs and associated additives to urban surface water, with additives including the antioxidant derivative N ...

Quantification of tire tread wear particle in road dust through pyrolytic technique

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Road dust cotains tire wear particles (TWPs) and a large amount of mineral particles (MPs). Given that tire tread in vehicles is mainly comprised of natural rubber (NR), isoprene and dipentene could be the main pyrogenic products stemmed from the ...
