Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR): A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: HNBR is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrile rubber (NBR) using either a homogeneous or heterogeneous technique. NBR is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile monomers. The hydrogenation process involves adding hydrogen to the nitrile butadiene copolymer, which results in improved resistance to heat, oxidation, and chemicals compared to NBR. This process alters the molecular structure of the rubber, providing it with superior properties compared to its unmodified counterpart, NBR. …

Review of Post-consumer Plastics and Pyrolysis Technology
Abstract: In both industrial and residential products, synthetic polymers are widely used. Since synthetic polymers are made from fossil fuels, they cannot decompose. disposal of plastic solid waste (PSW) has threatened the ecosystem seriously. In this article, we examine the various post-consumer PSW thermo-chemical recycling techniques. A method that has shown promise for converting PSW into valuable hydrocarbon compounds is pyrolysis. PSW has been broken down through thermal decomposition, however, value-added …

Environmental estrogens: A silent enemy
Abstract: Throughout our lives we are exposed to environmental estrogens, from food, air, water, soil, and household products as well as probably through breast milk or during development in the womb. Environmental estrogens have endocrine disrupting activity. Many times natural plant compounds or synthetic chemicals may also disturb the endocrine system. These compounds are weaker than the estrogen naturally produced in the body. Many reproductive, developmental and other health problems have …
