Influence of functionalized terpolymer resin on carbon black reinforced rubber compounds

Influence of functionalized terpolymer resin on carbon black reinforced rubber compounds and corelation with tire performance In recent years, the European Union (EU) has mandated reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). Passenger cars are responsible for roughly 13% of the total CO2 emission in the E.U. From 2021, the CO2 emissions of new passenger cars must be reduced by 27% compared to 2015.

Epsilon Carbon commissions India’s first integrated carbon black complex

Epsilon Carbon Private Limited (ECPL) has established India’s first integrated carbon black complex located in Bellary, Karnataka. With a capacity of 115,000 tons per year (TPA), the carbon black Unit has successfully commissioned its operations and is already running close to its full capacity. The integrated facility produces both tread and carcass grades of ASTM carbon blacks for tire, non-tire rubber and plastic masterbatch partners globally.

Michelin’s new racing tires have better performance and less climate impact due to recovered carbon black from Enviro

Tire manufacturer Michelin has produced a new racing tire, comprising between 33 and 40 percent recovered material, ahead of the MotoE World Cup motorcycle racing series. The new and more sustainable racing tire that was presented earlier this week contains, among other materials, recovered carbon black that was produced using Enviro’s recycling technology for end-of-life tire

Simultaneous Effects of Mixing Parameters on Internal Mixing of Rubber and Carbon Black Using Response Surface Methodology

In order to investigate all the effects of the processing parameters on the mixing properties without having to do a number of experiments, the statistical tool, called response surface methodology (RSM), has been used. This technique has the capability to evaluate all the effects of the parameters on the responses, which include linear, non-linear and interaction effects.

Almond Production Residues As Natural Rubber Fillers

Carbon black is commonly used as a filler in rubber and plastic compounds. It is composed of over 90% carbon, with low oxygen and hydrogen content, mainly forming surface functional groups which may participate in polymer reinforcement. Raw almond shells are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, representing less than 50% carbon, over 40% oxygen, and at times significant amounts of moisture. The relatively polar nature of almond shells, and their tendency to degrade at processing temperatures, presents a less than ideal alternative when considering fillers for hydrocarbon polymers.
