Degradability of polymeric composites (ENR/PLA) from renewable resources

Masek A., Zaborski M., Lodz University of Technology, PL

In our research, we reported on biodegradable composites exhibiting specificity properties by melt blending of polylactide (PLA), one of the commercially available biodegradable material, and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). Blending of ENR with different types [...]

Natural polyphenols as pro-ecological antioxidants and pigments for polymer composites

Masek A., Zaborski M., Lodz University of Technology, PL

In our studies, we propose the use of natural, pro-ecological substances such as polyphenols to protect elastomers against ageing. This natural compounds were incorporated into ethylene-norbornene (COC-material is commercially available under the name of TOPAS); [...]

Ageing of elastomeric composites with natural antioxidants

Masek A., Zaborski M., Institute of Polymer and Dye Technology, PL

The natural antioxidants which were added to ethylene-octene elastomer (polyolefin elastomer-Engage). Vulcanizates were then subjected to numerous ageing: weathering (climat of Floryda), UV (0,7 W/m2), thermo-oxidation ageing (1000C/10days) and thermal-shock (-600C/+1000C) as a function of [...]

Elastomer composites containing layered fillers and hydroxyapatities

Lipinska M., Pietrasik J., Zaborski M., Masek A., Institute of Polymer and Dye Technology, PL

Traditionally, as a filler of rubber carbon black is used. It is an active filler able to reinforce and improve the properties of finished rubber products. For ecological and economic reasons the research activity is [...]

Degradable elastomer composites containing layered silicate

Lipinska M., Zaborski M., Technical University of Lodz, PL

Polymers with an increased degree of degradability can be obtained through the addition of natural biodegradable supplements to the synthetic polymer. The aim of our study was to obtain an elastomeric composites determined time of [...]

Application of zinc and magnesium oxides nanoparticles in crosslinking of carboxylated butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber

Lipinska M., Zaborski M., Technical University of Lodz, PL

The aim of this work was to study the activity of several nanosized zinc and magnesium oxides in the crosslinking of carboxylated nitrile elastomer XNBR. The influence of the specific surface area, particle size and [...]

The morphology and properties of silica nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel reaction in elastomer matrix

Lipinska M., Zaborski M., Technical University of Lodz, PL

In our studies the influence of different dispersing agents on the synthesis and character of silica particles prepared by a sol-gel reaction was investigated. The silica with different surface morphology was synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) [...]
