New research finds a more efficient means of producing butadiene using renewable ethanol

Engineers replace conventional aggregates with rubber from discarded tires

Towards the development of next-generation functional rubber materials

These studies are critical for developing accurate risk assessments and public policy

Research has major implications for polymer engineering and provides insight into natural soft materials

A new kind of rubber polymer can be compressed and heated with fillers to create construction materials of the future

New method addresses the enormous environmental burden posed by tires, approximately 3 billion of which were manufactured and purchased worldwide in 2019

Because rubber is so resilient, scrap tires persist in the environment for a long time

Collecting the gases produced during the composting and combining it with rubber can make optimized electronic sealants and sensors

New material mimics the way a human finger experiences tension and compression as it slides along a surface or distinguishes among different textures
