In this work a layer structure from styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites and PU foam with improved flame retardancy property and high sound absorption coefficient at frequency range (200–500 Hz). Different types of flame retardants; iron (acrylic-co-acrylamide) as metal chelate (MC), magnesium ...

This chapter summarizes many of the recent technical accomplishments in the area of carbonaceous fillers such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene-filled/reinforced elastomer composites. Their characteristics, their impact, and their loading level on the thermal properties of rubbers suc...

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic polymer primarily used in the tire industry, due to its good collaborative properties with additives and fillers. In the present work, we aim to synthesize an SBR composite reinforced with graphene oxide filler to be made biodegradable. In composite prep...

To improve heat dissipation capability and enhance mechanical properties, a series of silica aerogel (SA) and modified glass fiber (GF)-filled SBR composites were prepared. It was found that the addition of SA successfully reduced the thermal conductivity of SBR by 35%, owing to the heat shield of t...

The employment of used tyres as a new source of raw materials for different applications can be a partial solution to the great environmental problems generated by these products concerning their disposal at waste depots. In this study, high-resolution thermogravimetric analysis (Hi-Res TGA) is used...

Synergistic enhancement of fillers in the polymer matrix has emerged as a subject of scientific and industrial interest. A hybrid with the silica decorating on GO surface (SiO2@GO) was fabricated by an electrostatic self-assembly method, and its morphology, structure and composition were characteriz...
