Multipurpose Processing Additives for Silica/Rubber Composites: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application

Processing additives are a special group of chemicals included in rubber formulations to facilitate the flowability of the resultant compounds. Their addition generally affects the cured properties of the subsequent rubber composites, and fine-tuning of the compound formulation is therefore required...
