Australian scientists have created a new kind of rubber polymer that could make for more sustainable building materials. This versatile new material can be used on its own like regular rubber, or ...

Materials have been shaping our world since the dawn of human civilization. Among them, rubber, a versatile and adaptable material, has a wide range of domestic and industrial uses, from tyres and ...

Recent investigations into rubber materials have deepened our understanding of the complex interplay between inherent viscoelastic behaviour and progressive aging. Rubber, widely used in applications ...

Researchers have increased the fatigue threshold of particle-reinforced rubber, developing a new, multiscale approach that allows the material to bear high loads and resist crack growth over repeated ...

Researchers developed a flexible composite by magnetically aligning boron nitride flakes into vertical chains within silicone rubber. This structure achieves an out-of-plane thermal conductivity of 1.

A novel green recyclable rubber polymer developed by Australian scientists can help to reduce the ever-growing environmental impact of the traditional non-reusable synthetic and mineral materials used ...

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have created a new, rubber-like material with a unique set of properties, which could act as a replacement for human tissue in medical ...

A worker finishes installing a test strip of rubber sidewalk material in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Kansas City. University of Missouri-Kansas City Kansas Citians in certain neighborhoods may find ...

At first glance, the reaction is predictable. Gloves? Disposable rubber gloves used for minutes and discarded by the billions. The immediate question almost asks itself: why bother?

Kids' favorite LEGO vehicles are getting a greener upgrade. The LEGO Group has just announced a major step in their sustainability journey: new tires made with over 30% recycled materials. LEGO is ...

Rubber parts such as silicone diaphragms, septums, seals, valves, tubing, and balloons are critical components in many of today’s medical devices. FEA can be an excellent tool for design engineers to ...
