  Comprehensive Review of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber

  By Sandeep Rai, Pradeep Uthale

  Abstract: The terpolymer elastomer known as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is made up of ethylene and propylene with trace amounts of a non-conjugated diene as a third monomer. This elastomer was created using the idea of limited olefinic functionality, which is brought about by diene monomer incorporating unsaturation into the polymer backbone. This random elastomeric copolymer, which has a fully saturated polymer backbone, has intriguing qualities such as good heat …

  Recycled Carbon Black Manufacturing and Its Commercialization

  By Sandeep Rai, Pradeep Uthale

  Abstract: Recycled Carbon Black (rCB) is emerged as a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black in the manufacturing of tires, non-tyre rubber products, and various other industrial applications. The increase in demand for this environmentally friendly material, due to the growing issue of waste/scrap tyre management, which has driven the development and commercialization of rCB. This article explores the various processes involved in the production of recycled carbon black, including pyrolysis …
