Abstract Zinc oxide is a widely used compound in the rubber industry due to the excellent properties that it shows as activator, and consequently, its role in the mechanism of accelerated sulfur vulcanization has been extensively studied. Due to the increased concern about its environmental effects, several research studies have been carried out in order to substitute it with different metal oxides such us MgO. The effect of the activator system in order to minimize the environmental impact of the rubber goods has been explored. The work developed is presented in two parts. In Part 1, the influence of different mixtures of ZnO and MgO on the vulcanization of natural rubber has been investigated. In Part 2, model compound vulcanization has been used to study the role of MgO on the mechanism to gain a better understanding of the differences shown in Part 1.

Additional of fillers such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), Zirconium carbide ( ZrC) and Zirconia (ZrO2) would affect the properties of the polysiloxane sheet, that can be applied in various applications. Polysiloxane sheet composites are largely use today with various materials as fillers. The fabrication techniques of the polysiloxane composite sheets include micro-moulding, casting moulding and injection moulding. Application of different fabricating process, physical and mechanical properties of polysiloxane sheet composites. Thus, this paper complies various studies with regards to the various properties of polysiloxane sheet composites established by incorporation of different fabrication technique and fillers.

Abstract 1. The activation effect of metal oxides on the process of culvanization of nonpigmented compounds of rod polymerized sodium butadiene rubber differs from the effect in rodless polymerized rubber. In the latter case zinc oxide not only is not an activator but it retards the vulcanization process. 2. The role of activators depends, to a large degree, on the type of vulcanization accelerator and active filler used. 3. Metal oxides increase the amount of structure formation in the vulcanizate. 4. With regard to butadiene styrene rubber (SKS-30A), calcium hydroxide appears to have stronger activating effect on vulcanization than zinc oxide. 5. The special effectiveness of calcium hydroxide in compounds of butadiene styrene rubber is a result of its independent structure forming ability and accelerating influence on the reaction between rubber and sulfur. 6. Magnesium oxide has a positive influence on the technical properties of rubber and on the durability of tires prepared with butadiene styrene and sodium butadiene rubbers.

AbstractIn this era, nanotechnology is gaining enormous popularity due to its ability to reduce metals, metalloids and metal oxides into their nanosize, which essentially alter their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Zinc oxide nanoparticle is one of the most important semiconductor metal oxides with diverse applications in the field of material science. However, several factors, such as pH of the reaction mixture, calcination temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, nature of capping agents, and concentration of metal precursors, greatly affect the properties of the zinc oxide nanoparticles and their applications. This review focuses on the influence of the synthesis parameters on the morphology, mineralogical phase, textural properties, microstructures, and size of the zinc oxide nanoparticles. In addition, the review also examined the application of zinc oxides as nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.
