The presence of natural amorphous silica (finely ground pumice) with carbon black in various EPDM formulations was studied for potential " enhancing " effects of the carbon black dispersion from aggregate to individual particles. The EPDM formulations were studied in a designed experiment matrix that evaluated pumice loading level, pumice particle...
The reuse scrap tires in polymer applications has been in demand, to achieve this target a number of research has been performed. This area of research and development has been opened and accelerated by Lehigh Technologies' investment and commitment. This is to providing ultrafine particle size scrap tire rubber in commercial quantities and in part...
Spontaneous desorption (SD) has been studied as a function of field strengths and sputtering energies. Accordingly, the mechanism of SD is proposed to be a two step process. The first step is the field desorption of ions from a grid or aperture. This step is evidenced by the dependence of the electron count rate versus the electric field strength....
This paper will study the effects of multiple repurposed raw materials for reinforcement in a standard carbon black based thermoset rubber formulation. The materials will be: a) carbon black as the standard, b) pyrolysis carbon black (recovered)
Repurposed Raw Materials as Reinforcement for Standard SBR Rubber Compounds
A rapidly developing method for blowing agent elimination in the production of flexible slabstock polyurethane foam is the use of forced cooling. This process overcomes many of the common problems related to discoloration and physical property loss in traditional low density water blown foams. Additional benefits of forced cooling include uniformit...

Cf-252 PDMS and dynamic SIMS analyses of the class of mixed metal oxides known as ferrites (CuFe2O4, CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 were performed. This study provides a direct comparison of the two surface science techniques. The results yielded information in the following three areas: 1.(1) the ability to detect surface contamination,2.(2) the differences...
This paper discusses a novel application of Particle Desorption Mass Spectrometry for surface characterization. The first results obtained by combining 252Cf-PDMS with keV ion sputtering for depth profiling analysis are presented. The PDMS depth profile of a 4660 Å layer of Al on Si was corroborated by XPS depth profiling and indicates an informati...
