A Visual Approach for Inducing Dolichoectasia in Mice to Model Large Vessel-Mediated Cerebrovascular Dysfunction.

The blood-brain (BBB) is a crucial system that regulates selective brain circulation with the periphery, as an example, allowing necessary nutrients to enter and expel excessive amino acids or toxins from the brain. To model how the BBB can be compromised in diseases like vascular dementia (VaD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers developed novel methods to model vessel dilatation. A compromised BBB in these disease states can be detrimental and result in the dysregulation of the BBB leading to untoward and pathological consequences impacting brain function. We were able to modify an existing technique that enabled us to inject directly into the Cisterna magna (CM) to induce dilatation of blood vessels using elastase, and disrupt the tight junctions (TJ) of the BBB. With this method, we were able to see various metrics of success over previous techniques, including consistent blood vessel dilatation, reduced mortality or improved recovery, and improving the fill/opacifying agent, a silicone rubber compound, delivery for labeling blood vessels for dilatation analysis. This modified minimally invasive method has had promising results, with a 19%-32% increase in sustained dilatation of large blood vessels in mice from 2 weeks to 3 months post-injection. This improvement contrasts with previous studies, which showed increased dilatation only at the 2 week mark. Additional data suggests sustained expansion even after 9.5 months. This increase was confirmed by comparing the diameter of blood vessels of the elastase and the vehicle-injected group. Overall, this technique is valuable for studying pathological disorders that affect the central nervous system (CNS) using animal models.

Experimental Tensile Strength Analysis of Different Manufacturer Oring

Importance and Purpose of Tensile Testing on ORings The tensile test on rings and especially on O-rings is primarily carried out for quality assurance reasons. The tensile test provides information about the formulation quality (evaluation of the absolute values, strength of the material, and determination of formulation changes). For example, it is not possible to detect an exchange of the polymer of compounds with different molecular weights and/or a different molecular weight distribution (e.g. highviscosity press mix by low-viscosity spray mix) by infrared spectroscopy (IR), but only by tensile testing and possibly by long-term compression set tests. Furthermore, the tensile test provides information on subsequent changes compared to the prototype condition. The Influence of Processing In the case of some O-rings, due to poor processing, it is not the strength value of the material that is determined, but the lower strength of the joining line (= confluence point of the rubber compound in the production of the O-ring in the injection mold) at which the O-ring tears. This problem depends on the material (e.g. certain acrylate rubbers), the tool and the process parameters. The joining line can usually be detected in advance by a visual and strain test or by relatively large scatter in a tensile test. Typical for the scatter in tensile tests of O-rings are 5-10%-points standard deviation related to the mean value of the elongation at break or the tensile strength. An important characteristic of good processing is the achievement of the optimum degree of vulcanization. However, there is no generally valid optimum, but this must be determined depending on the intended application of the elastomeric component. If, for example, the tear resistance is the most important material parameter for the finished product, a different degree of crosslinking or a different cross linking density must be aimed for than if, for example, a low

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes reinforcement on self-healing performance of natural rubber

Abstract This work is motivated by the desire to restore the quality of rubber-based product properties with the intention of prolonging the service life period, thus helping create a sustainable environment by proposing effective rubber waste management. This study experimentally investigated an intrinsically self-healing zinc thiolate grafted natural rubber (NRZT) compound filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to assess its influence on mechanical properties and self-healing performance. The MWCNT loading varied to 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 phr. The Equilibrium swelling test was used to quantify the amount of ionic and covalent crosslinks formed. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra were used to detect the presence of MWCNT in the compound. The mechanical properties computed by the tensile and tear strength tests showed that the incorporation of MWCNT increased both properties up to three and twofold, respectively. However, as expected, the elongation at break (Eb) value was reduced. The unfilled sample showed that it can heal up to ∼98 %, measured from the tensile strength. However, the healing efficiency obtained from tensile strength reduces to ∼88 % by incorporating 2 phr MWCNT. The Eb and its self-healing efficiency gradually decreased as the MWCNT amount increased. All samples showed outstanding properties under the tearing mode, where the healed samples produced higher tear strength (>100 % healing) than the initial value. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs revealed a noticeable gap along the healed cut line with increased MWCNT numbers, possibly due to the lower reaction between polymerized zinc thiolate (PZTh) radicals with zinc thiolate (ZT) and rubber molecules. The work aims to investigate the influence of MWCNTs on the mechanical and healing performance of self-healing NR composites by comparing them to their unfilled sample.

Synthesis of Hybrid/Superhydrophobic Coupling Agent Grafted Nano SiO2 and Its Use in Fabrication of Rubber Nanocomposite with Outstanding Oil/Water Separation Capability

Design and synthesis of a new sorbent with high performances of oil-water separation is one of the challenges to the world community. Herein, a superhydrophobic/novel coupling agent (NCA) containing several vinyl groups was synthesized. Also, vinyl isocyanate (VI) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) reacted with a synergetic strategy of crosslinked networks through the click reaction under N2 gas atmosphere. 1H NMR and FTIR analyses confirmed the formation of NCA with the SiC10H18O6N2 chemical formula. Then, NCA was grafted on the nanoparticles at different amounts by sol-gel method. It was found that the surface modification of nanoparticles enhanced the water contact angle (WCA) from 60° to 163°. In the following, nanoparticles with and without NCA were applied at different contents to tire rubber compound. The uniform dispersion/distribution of the grafted nano fillers with NCA in polymer matrix and the strong filler-polymer interactions enhanced crosslink density and improved the mechanical performances of the rubber sample. The prepared nanocomposites were tested against absorption of different oils. The results showed that the superior nanocomposite with modified nanoparticles (i.e. TR-TNS5) had a separation efficiency of over 90 % compared to the nanocomposite with pure nanoparticles (i.e. TR-NS5) which had a separation efficiency of less than 30 %. Also, the separation cycle of nanocomposites improved by 95 % after addition of the modified nanoparticles (from 240 to 440 cycles). The modified nanocomposite illustrated contact angles of 153.22° and 13.34° with water and oil droplets, respectively. The results showed that the modified rubbery nanocomposite confirmed superior mechanical and oil-water separation performances.

Influence of silane-modified palm oil as a green processing oil in silica-reinforced SBR/BR compounds for tire tread applications

This study focuses on the usage of silane-modified palm oil (Si-m-PO) to replace petroleum-based processing oils, i.e., distillate aromatic extract (DAE) and treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE), in silica-reinforced styrene butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber (SBR/BR) compounds for green tire tread products. The preparation of a novel processing oil based on Si-m-PO was successful on the laboratory scale, as verified by nuclear magnetic resonance, where the grafting efficiency of silane in oil molecules was 58%. Among the different types of processing oils, the presence of Si-m-PO in the compounds resulted in lower filler-filler interactions than the ones with TDAE and unmodified PO but higher than DAE. The Si-m-PO showed an effective reduction in filler–filler interaction compared to unmodified PO, possibly because the Si-m-PO could cover silica surfaces via silane linkage, leading to hydrophobicity of silica surfaces. Overall, the compounds containing Si-m-PO represented higher mechanical properties than the other oils. Furthermore, the Si-m-PO provided the same level concerning rolling resistance and enhanced wet traction, when compared to unmodified PO. Therefore, Si-m-PO can be applied as a biobased processing oil in tire tread applications.

Prediction of rolling resistance and wheel force for a passenger car tire: A comparative study on the use of different material models and numerical approaches

In this research, the characteristics of tire-road interaction of a 185/65R14 88H passenger car tire are investigated using the Finite Element Method in Abaqus commercial software. Moreover, the effect of various material models on tire performance is studied by implementing Visco-Hyperelastic, Parallel Rheological Framework, and Mullins effect. The novelty of this research is devoted to the development of the complex material models particularly considering the Mullins effect of the rubber compounds in the tire structure for the load-displacement criteria. For this purpose, a tire finite element model was generated using Abaqus/Standard command line in two different methods including an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation for steady state rolling and implementing a pure Lagrangian approach for the transient dynamic analysis carried out implicit and explicit process respectively. Rolling resistance force was computed according to ISO 28580 with 210 kPa inflation pressure and 4155 N vertical load. The footprint test results were extracted in both static and transient dynamic analyses. Additionally, the wheel reaction force was predicted using an indirect method by extracting the tire-terrain contact patch reaction force in Abaqus/Explicit to observe the effect of the material convection along with stress softening phenomena of the rubber compounds of tire structure. In the post-processing analysis, the wheel reaction was filtered by implementing SAE60 filter to reduce the numerical noise in the final response.

Sensitivity analysis of truck tire tread material properties for on-road applications

This research delves into the sensitivity analysis of a truck tire rubber compound concerning its impact on tire–road interaction characteristics. Initially, the study employs finite element analysis to model a 315/80R22.5 truck tire, which is subsequently validated through static and dynamic response assessments via various simulation tests. Following validation, the established tire model is utilized to conduct a sensitivity analysis of the tire rubber compound specifically applied on the tread. This analysis encompasses several material definitions, including Mooney–Rivlin, visco-Mooney–Rivlin, linear viscoelastic, and nonlinear viscoelastic materials. By exploring the effects of these material models, the research scrutinizes their influence on tire–road interaction characteristics across diverse operating conditions. The tire–road interaction characteristics include the rolling resistance coefficient, and the cornering force at operating conditions including the longitudinal speed, vertical load, and slip angle. This comprehensive investigation offers insights into the intricate relationship between tire composition and performance, thereby enhancing our understanding of tire behavior and informing potential advancements in tire technology.

From Formulation to Application: Effects of Plasticizer on the Printability of Fluoro Elastomer Compounds and Additive Manufacturing of Specialized Seals.

This work investigated material extrusion additive manufacturing (MatEx AM) of specialized fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds for applications in rubber seals and gaskets. The influence of a commercially available perfluoropolyether (PFPE) plasticizer on the printability of a control FKM rubber compound was studied using a custom-designed ram material extruder, Additive Ram Material Extruder (ARME), for printing fully compounded thermoset elastomers. The plasticizer's effectiveness was assessed based on its ability to address challenges such as high compound viscosity and post-print shrinkage, as well as its impact on interlayer adhesion. The addition of the PFPE plasticizer significantly reduced the FKM compound's viscosity (by 70%) and post-print shrinkage (by 65%). While the addition of the plasticizer decreased the tensile strength of the control compound, specimens printed with the plasticized FKM retained 34% of the tensile strength of compression-molded samples, compared to only 23% for the unplasticized compound. Finally, the feasibility of seals and gaskets manufacturing using both conventional and unconventional additive manufacturing (AM) approaches was explored. A hybrid method combining AM and soft tooling for compression molding emerged as the optimal method for seal and gasket fabrication.

Natural and synthetic isoprene rubbers obtained using Ziegler–Natta catalysts

Objectives. To compare the properties of rubber compounds and rubbers based on natural rubber RSS1 and synthetic isoprene rubbers obtained using Ti, Nd, Gd catalysts, both when used individually in the formulation of rubber compounds and when synthetic analogues partially replace natural rubber.Methods. Rubber compounds were prepared using a laboratory roll and a 100 cm3 rubber mixer. For rubber compounds, the following factors were determined: Mooney viscosity, cohesive strength, and vulcanization characteristics. For rubbers, the following factors were determined: physical and mechanical parameters, Shore A hardness, rebound resilience, and volume loss upon abrasion.Results. Based on the results of the rubber compound tests, the study showed that compounds based on all the synthetic polyisoprenes studied are significantly inferior to compounds based on natural rubber in terms of cohesive strength. The partial replacement of natural rubber with synthetic rubber (regardless of the type of catalytic system) leads to a significant decrease in the cohesive strength of the blends. Despite the differences observed in the properties of the rubber compounds, the results of the rubbers based on individual rubbers do not manifest significant differences.Conclusions. The study demonstrated the influence of defects (oligomers, gel, low molecular weight fractions, branches, and 3,4-units) in the structure of synthetic polyisoprenes on the cohesive strength index of rubber compounds based on them, in which the number of 3,4-units plays a decisive role. The study also showed the potential of studying synthetic polyisoprenes as analogues of natural rubber in formulations of rubber compounds in the aims of resolving the problem of import substitution in the tire and rubber goods industry.

Conjugate transient flow and thermal analysis of non-isothermal rubber curing process in autoclave system

Autoclave manufacturing under high pressure and elevated temperature was required to vulcanize the rubber compound applied in the aerospace industry. Nevertheless, few works have comprehensively explored the transient effect of flowing factors on curing efficiency, thermal uniformity, and exergy destruction in autoclave processing. In this study, the three-dimensional model and non-isothermal vulcanization of an autoclave with a built-in combustion chamber were solved by combining the finite volume method and the proposed mixed kinetic model, and exergy destruction was determined to estimate the energy consumption using a direct method. Variations in the Reynolds number (Re), gas pressure (P), temperature, rate of temperature change, and Prandtl number (Pr) were analyzed to improve the unstable thermo-vulcanization and reduce energy consumption in autoclave processing. The results demonstrate that increasing the inlet Re can significantly increase the curing rate while decreasing the temperature difference in the rubber area, and a reduction of 41.89 %−46.62 % for the complete vulcanization time is achieved by changing Re from 105 to 2 × 106; however, adjusting P and temperature has only a minor effect on the heat transfer under constant higher Re. Furthermore, changing the rate of temperature change and Pr is also advantageous for optimizing the curing process and reducing exergy destruction. A minimal non-dimensional exergy destruction rate arises for a given P, rate of temperature change, or Pr when the Re is raised. The knowledge gathered from this research could provide a theoretical foundation for reducing energy consumption and boosting productivity during autoclave curing.

Fatty alcohols as sustainable compatibilizer agents for the compound of natural rubber/silica: The curing, rubberiness and tensile strength behaviours

Fatty alcohols are derived from palm oil production and, stearyl and lauryl alcohols are examples of them. The stearyl and lauryl alcohols have the potential to be used as rubber additives for the compounding and vulcanizing processes. These materials are relatively new as rubber additives and, they were added into silica-filled natural rubber (NR) compound. The aim of using them is to increase the grade of silica dispersion inside the NR matrix. Initially, the NR was filled by (precipitate) silica at 30 parts per hundred of NR, whilst the fatty alcohols were added into the silica-filled NR with variable concentrations from 1 to 4 phr, separately. The compounds of NR/silica/stearyl alcohol and NR/silica/lauryl alcohol have been vulcanised at 150 °C by implementing a semi-efficient rubber composition. From the vulcanization behaviour, it was observed that both fatty alcohols have the role of compatibilizer and plasticising agents for the compound of NR/silica. Those fatty alcohols decreased the viscousness but increased the curing rate index (CRI). The more concentration of fatty alcohols was supplied, the less viscousness and the higher the CRI. Those fatty alcohols also shifted the crosslinking level and tensile strength. It also observed that the break elongation or rubberiness has been shifted up. Tensile strength has been shifted to a maximal value with a 2 phr of stearyl alcohol or 3 phr of lauryl alcohol addition.

Effect of Varied Cure Temperature on the Cure Behavior, Mechanical Properties and Heat Build-Up of Solid Tire Tread Compound Containing Different Particles Sizes of Ground Tire Rubber

This work investigates the effect of variation in vulcanization temperature on the cure behavior, tensile properties, tear strength, hardness, Akron abrasion loss and heat build-up of vulcanized tire tread compound in which the total rubber was replaced with 10% and 20% ground tire rubber (GTR) of 40, 60 and 80 mesh sizes. The first step was the characterization of the GTR using optical microscopy and a thermogravimetric analyzer. The first step of mixing each rubber compound was carried out using an internal mixer (Brabender) at 60°C and 40 rev/min rotor speed and the second step was done on a two-roll mill. The mooney viscosity of each rubber compound was investigated. the cure behavior of the rubber compounds was studied at 140°C, 150°C, and 160°C respectively. Results show that the introduction of GTR reduced vulcanization time, while increased cure temperature resulted in a lower vulcanization time. No significant difference was observed in the vulcanization time at a particular temperature of the rubber sample with different particle sizes and varied amounts of GTR. The introduction of ground tire rubber in the rubber vulcanizate however resulted in decreased tensile strength, tear strength and elongation, and increased hardness, abrasion resistance, modulus and heat build-up. An increase in the vulcanization temperature from 140°C to 150°C and 160°C did not impart a significant reduction in the tensile strength of the vulcanizates containing GTR. Vulcanization at higher temperatures resulted in reduced hardness, and modulus, slightly increased abrasion loss and increased elongation of the vulcanizates containing GTR. The heat build-up increased as the cure temperature increased. Generally, the control sample with no content of ground tire rubber exhibited the best properties. If GTR is to be introduced in rubber matrix at an amount up to 20%, the results suggest that 60 mesh size particles will impart better properties. The optimal vulcanization temperature recommended based on the findings from the work is 150°C.

Impact of sulfur compounds on motorbike wheel damper rubber manufacturing materials with 3 Phr, 4 Phr, and 6 Phr compositions

Rubber force is a simple but important thing for vehicles. This component is located in the rear wheel drum which is directly connected to the gear. Many factors influence the damage to this component. This research aims to determine how much influence stearic acid has on the hardness and tensile strength values of the lifting rubber compound. The materials used to make the compound are rubber smoked sheet (RSS) and synthetic rubber mixed with the chemicals stearic acid, black carbon white oil, ZnO, paraffin wax, MBTS, comaron resin and sulfur. These ingredients are mixed using two roll mixing until they combine and form a compound sheet. To determine the maturation time of rubber, a rheometer process is carried out. The next process is vulcanization of rubber using a mold that is pressed at a temperature of 1600C and a pressure of 150 psi. Tensile testing uses rubber testing equipment with SNI ISO 37: 2015 (IDT–2011) standards. Hardness testing uses a tool with a Shore A hardness tester scale with ISO 7619–1:2010 standards. Based on the results of the tests carried out, the addition of sulfur has a very significant effect on the hardness value and tensile strength value. For the hardness value of compound 3 with a sulfur composition of 6 phr, it has the highest hardness, namely 77 Shore A and the lowest value is composition 1 with a hardness value of 65.6 Shore A. The highest tensile strength value is 15,394 N/mm2 in composition 1 and the lowest value is in composition 3 with a value of 11.44 N/mm2

Synergistic effects of silane‐modified carbon black and nano‐silica hybrid fillers on the performance of natural rubber compounds

AbstractThis study investigates the efficiency of already developed surface‐modified carbon black (CB), both independently and in conjunction with nano‐silica, as a hybrid filler, to the properties of natural rubber (NR) compounds. The modification process, followed by coupling agent treatment, enhanced cross‐link density and curing characteristics, though the inclusion of nano‐silica alone negatively affected curing due to its inherent polarity and tendency to agglomerate. The filled compounds with modified CB exhibited significant improvements in mechanical properties, notably tear resistance. Moreover, the combination of nano‐silica with modified CB yielded compounds with superior tear resistance, attributed to synergistic effects. CB surface modification exhibited varying effects on the glass transition temperature, with enhancements observed in tan δ at lower temperatures, indicating improved ice and wet grip potential. Also, it reduced rolling resistance after treatment with a coupling agent. While thermal stability remained consistent across the studied compounds, swelling resistance varies with filler type and ratio. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the positive impact of CB surface modification on the elasticity and chain mobility of the investigated rubber compounds. It was concluded that the strategic selection of fillers and modification approaches were essential for achieving optimal results in the rubber compound's performance and application.

Natural coal-derived graphite as rubber filler and the influence of its progressive graphitization on reinforcement performance

This study introduces a reinforcing rubber filler, natural coal-derived graphite (NCDG), evaluating how its progressive structural evolution from meta-anthracite (MA), semi-graphite (SG) to cryptocrystalline graphite (CG) during the natural graphitization process affects their reinforcing performance to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. The highly graphitized NCDG fillers exhibit good filler dispersion, more bound rubber content, and well compatibility between filler and rubber matrix when compounded with SBR, and significantly enhance the mechanical properties of SBR composite (tensile strength can reach 22.8 MPa), as well as improving the storage modulus, wet-skid resistance, wear resistance, and electrical conductivity. The formation of microcrystalline multilayer graphene and graphene nanoplatelets exfoliated by mechanical shear stress during ball grinding and rubber compound mixing plays an important role in improving the reinforcement performance of rubber composites. This research provides valuable insights into the utilization of NCDG as a cost-effective and environment-friendly reinforcing filler for rubber composites.

Environmental profiles, hazard identification, and toxicological hallmarks of emerging tire rubber-related contaminants 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone

N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is commonly used in rubber compounds as antioxidants to protect against degradation from heat, oxygen, and ozone exposure. This practice extends the lifespan of rubber products, including tires, by preventing cracking, aging, and deterioration. However, the environmental consequences of waste generated during rubber product use, particularly the formation of 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) through the reaction of 6PPD with ozone, have raised significant concerns due to their detrimental effects on ecosystems. Extensive research has revealed the widespread occurrence of 6PPD and its derivate 6PPD-Q in various environmental compartments, including air, water, and soil. The emerging substance of 6PPD-Q has been shown to pose acute mortality and long-term hazards to aquatic and terrestrial organisms at concentrations below environmentally relevant levels. Studies have demonstrated toxic effects of 6PPD-Q on a range of organisms, including zebrafish, nematodes, and mammals. These effects include neurobehavioral changes, reproductive dysfunction, and digestive damage through various exposure pathways. Mechanistic insights suggest that mitochondrial stress, DNA adduct formation, and disruption of lipid metabolism contribute to the toxicity induced by 6PPD-Q. Recent findings of 6PPD-Q in human samples, such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid, underscore the importance of further research on the public health and toxicological implications of these compounds. The distribution, fate, biological effects, and underlying mechanisms of 6PPD-Q in the environment highlight the urgent need for additional research to understand and address the environmental and health impacts of these compounds.

Conversion of an industrial LIBS system to double-pulse operation to improve sulphur detection in rubber-based parts

The detection of sulphur as an elementary component of the crosslinking system of rubber compounds is difficult in LIBS single-pulse operation due to the usually low concentration and the poor response behavior of the analyte. However, reliable proof of the distribution quality of sulphur in the compound is a decisive quality criterion for the homogeneity of the crosslinking density achievable during vulcanization, which is important for the uniform performance of an elastomeric article, especially under dynamic load.Therefore a commercially available industrial LIBS system, (1064 nm Nd:YAG solid state laser, 100 mJ, 20 Hz) is extended with a 266 nm laser (Nd:YAG solid state laser, 60 mJ, 20 Hz) to combine an UV-based initial excitation (for ablation efficiency) followed by an IR-pulse (to realize highest plasma heating) to improve sulphur detection in rubber based compounds and parts. Optimization of the system parameters are investigated to improve the ablation efficiency and to increase the measured signal intensity/signal-to-noise-ratio of the analyte. The VUV sulphur lines at 180.658, 181.956, and 182.561 nm and the NIR sulphur lines at 921.298, 922.823, and 923.751 nm are under investigation.

COMPATIBILITY STUDY OF HYDROCARBON RESINS WITH RUBBER COMPOUNDS FOR TIRE APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT The addition of hydrocarbon resins to rubber compounds has a significant impact on their properties such as wet grip and rolling resistance. These performance characteristics have a strong correlation with the compatibility of the resin with the rubber matrix. Incompatible resins can cause excessive broadening of the damping curve, which results in poor rolling resistance. Compatibility, however, allows maximization of wet grip while minimizing the effect on rolling resistance. Compatibility is promoted by lower resin molecular weight and structural similarity to the polymers being blended. In this study, a method based on the Fox equation has been developed to quantitatively characterize the compatibility between resin and natural rubber (NR), a binary system. The dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), a tool new to the tire industry, is used to investigate the interaction between resin and two rubbers (i.e., a ternary system of NR–butadiene rubber [BR]–resin and solution polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber [SSBR]–butadiene rubber [BR]–resin), with a specific emphasis on resin partitioning among rubber blends. In addition, the DSR is applied to assess the Tg shift and tangent delta peak height, providing insight into the compatibility between rubbers and resin. A curve-fitting model was developed for the SSBR–BR–resin system to depict the relationship between these two parameters and the physical and chemical properties of resins, with the selection of resins featuring different degrees of aromaticity, Tg, and molecular weight. The findings indicated that higher Tg increased aromaticity and that lower molecular weight of the resin resulted in an elevated Tg shift in the blend, while lower molecular weight led to an increase in the tangent delta peak height. Our findings supply insight into the performance of rubber–resin blends and introduce a new screening tool for characterizing these blends in their green state.
