20. Areas of research
#1 – Modifiers rubber compounds
Members of the Department develope new high-performance rubber cord
adhesion promoters on the basis of the molecular complexes of
unsaturated dibasic organic acids (maleic and/or fumaric) with
hexamethylenetetramine.
Preliminary tests show that the rubber containing this
modifying complex exceed rubber, containing modifier
RU.
21. Areas of research
#2 – Creating rubber adhesion promoters to brass metal cord
Department works on creating modifiers that provide increased strength
mounting rubbers (including in terms of various kinds of aging) to the brass
metal cord for durability and performance tires.
Prepared and tested cobalt and nickel-based
adhesion promoters imide 2-sulfobenzoic acid.
Conducting research on new boron-containing
promoters of cobalt.
22. Areas of research
#3 – Silicic acid fillers
Members of the Department explore new additives to enhance
performance rubbers containing colloidal silica and silanes.
The introduction of these additives will improve the
technological properties of the rubber mixes (reduce
viscosity, improve the dispersion of colloidal silicic acid)
and vulcanizates characteristics (increase the strength
and elongation, to reduce the hysteresis loss).
Currently the content of additives and silane curing
agent is optimizing.
23. Areas of research
#4 – Nano-sized technical black carbon
Urgent track, including the tire industry is the ability to study the use of
rubber in the carbon nanomaterials.
Currently the effect of doses of carbon nanotubes
on the properties of the elastomer compositions is
studying.
24. Areas of research
#5 – Diffusion of plasticizers
Great importance for the prediction of the behavior and characteristics of
polymeric materials has study of diffusion of ingredients.
Obtained data will allow to create a mathematical model of the processes
of diffusion of the plasticizer in the polymer, which will predict the properties
of the finished product.
25. Areas of research
#6 – Biodegradable polymers
Work on the creation of biodegradable polymer composites based on
polyhydroxybutyrate is conducting at the Department.
We plan to create promising modern polymer
materials to degrade in the soil and in the open air.
