Development & Laboratory, Forsheda:

Focus Area 1: Develop a Method to Characterize the Performance of Recovered Carbon Black

Carbon black is used in the rubber industry to reinforce rubber and improve performance. It is produced from fossil-based oils. There are techniques to pyrolyze waste rubber — especially end-of-life tires — where the char from pyrolysis can be treated and reused as a carbon black replacement. Recycling tires and using rCB (recovered carbon black) results in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions but also presents some technical challenges. While some standards and literature exist around rCB testing and usage, a lot is yet to be explored.

•  Develop a method to test rCB.

•  Mix rubber compounds in a lab mixer and analyze the mixing process.

•  Analyze the performance of rubber compounds containing rCB.

Focus Area 2: Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA)

The RPA characterizes the behavior of polymers and rubber compounds under the influence of different frequencies, temperatures and levels of deformation. Several responses are measured and can be correlated with polymer architecture and the processing behavior of rubber compounds.

•  Examine test data and correlate it with the processing behavior of compounds.

•  Correlate polymer test data with polymer architecture.

Focus Area 3: Mixing of Rubber Compounds in a Lab Intermeshing Mixer

There are several factors to consider when mixing technical rubber compounds. While some aspects have been evaluated, many still require further investigation. 

•  Conduct practical tests using a computer-controlled rubber mixer, which provides extensive output data. This data can be analyzed to optimize quality, processing efficiency, and production capacity.

•  Connect rheological theories (how materials flow and deform) to the practical mixing process.
