Abstract Twenty-five years ago, a pneumatic tire for an automobile cost twenty-five dollars and gave service of about 3500 miles. Today a pneumatic tire costs only one-half as much and can be relied upon to give service of about 25,000 miles. These improvements are the result of various factors, such as the use of cord fabric, organic accelerators, antioxidants, and other carefully chosen raw materials. Among these latter, it is safe to say that carbon black is unquestionably the raw material which has contributed most of all to the increased mileage of pneumatic tires. Years ago when the reënforcing properties imparted to rubber by carbon black first became recognized, this product was furnished without any particular requirements other than freedom from impurities. Later, as the percentage of carbon black incorporated in rubber mixtures continued to increase, certain measures were taken to control the grit content. Ultimately, with the aim of furnishing the rubber industry with a product of the highest quality and greatest uniformity, the most important producers of carbon black, in coöperation with the laboratories of rubber factories, proceeded to develop a series of check tests and various other tests, which have led in turn to the development of the present-day specifications of carbon black.

Abstract One hesitates to close this review by adding a paragraph of conclusions. The term “oil-extension principle” introduced a new concept to the manufacturer of synthetic rubbers. The principle (if it may be identified by such a word) and the application of the products it generated do not involve any novel or unfamiliar approaches to the art of rubber compounding. Indeed, it would be rendering a disservice to the progress of their adoption by industry to suggest that it required a revision in the viewpoint of the rubber compounder. The use of softeners in compounding was almost coincidental with the discovery of rubberlike substances by the explorers of the 16th century. The development of carbon blacks having more useful characteristics in rubber came after the compounder had become familiar with the application of innumerable inorganic fillers in rubber and, indeed, soots and lampblacks. The tailor-made synthetic rubbers were developed by the chemical industry in the second-quarter of the 20th century and it is scarcely likely that higher molecular weight types would not be produced nor that any inherent processing problems would not be solved when there existed an economic and raw material incentive to do so. These are the contributions of the polymerization chemists and the synthetic rubber industry. Where it is more economically-attractive and technically-desirable to add softener and filler to the synthetic rubber in the manufacturing process, oil-extended rubbers and filler masterbatches will be provided as raw materials for the rubber industry. If on the other hand, these ingredients may be added quite readily during factory mixing operations, without any detrimental effects on the polymer quality, the synthetic rubber producer would be quite unwise to attempt to usurp the functions of the rubber manufacturer. The income of the rubber manufacturer, depends upon the skill and economy that he applies to the operation of mixing rubber with liquid and solid materials and this is the prime occupation of a rubber compounder. It would avail the synthetic rubber producer nothing to try and convince the compounder that he is doing something novel and unusual by preparing softener-filler masterbatches. However, the compounder will be receptive to a pre-blended product that enables him to produce rubber mixes of better or different quality at an equal, or lower, cost. This is the aim and accomplishment of oil-extended rubbers.

Abstract To summarize the principal results of the present investigation, it was found that whereas natural rubber is a poor raw material for the manufacture of semiebonite, butadiene-styrene and butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers are suitable raw materials, especially in combination with unsaturated hydrocarbon extenders of the Naftolen type. The superiority of GR-S to natural rubber in the form of semiebonite should be an interesting piece of information for every compounder conscientious about the importance of keeping up the use and the manufacture of GR-S. With natural rubber becoming more and more available, there exists, as we all know, the definite danger that GR-S will be pushed into the background. As a matter of fact, we are approaching the situation where the supply of rubber hydrocarbons, natural and synthetic, will exceed the demand by multiples if new uses for rubber in large volume are not found. The increased use of rubber products in the building and construction industry and in road surfacing might provide such an outlet for rubber. Semiebonite with good aging qualities might find many uses along these lines. It might lend itself to the manufacture of floor coverings, of waterproof wall insulation, etc. The possibilities of using semiebonites from GR-S for tire beads has been suggested in a previously published article, but no detailed study comparing various rubbers has been reported. The primary purpose of this report is to present these basic data, which can be used as starting points for compound development and to point out that we have in the semiebonite range a possibility of using GR-S to advantage. As to butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers, with which, in distinction to GR-S, very useful semihard rubber products can be made with phenolic resins, the medium sulfur range opens the possibility of making semiebonites which are easier to process and cheaper than resin combinations. The use of plastics in the rubber industry was recently discussed and summarized by Winkelmann. The compounding of semiebonites with Naftolen-type products offers a means of regulating the plasticity of the uncured stock as well as the elongation of the vulcanizate. Aging and prevention of sulfur bloom appear also improved. In other words, it was found that the combined use of 15 to 20 parts of sulfur with 15 to 50 parts of a Naftolen-type hydrocarbon gives a satisfactory semiebonite with GR-S, as well as with Hycar, and both these rubbers appear superior to natural rubber in semiebonites.

Aluminum-containing ternary carbide, Al4SiC4-Al4Si2C5 composites, were synthesized using a mixture of bauxite, kaolin and carbon black as starting materials. The effects of raw materials ratio on the phase transformation and micromorphology of ternary carbide were investigated. The results indicated that the optimum condition for synthesizing Al4SiC4-Al4Si2C5 composites was 2 h sintering at 1900 °C in flowing argon atmosphere. Al4Si2C5, Al, Si and SiC formed when carbon black content was lower than stoichiometric amount. With increasing of carbon black content, the Al and Si content decreased and Al4Si2C5 content increased in the products. Al4SiC4 appeared when stoichiometric amount of carbon black was used, and about 20 mol% excess of carbon black promoted the formation of Al4SiC4.

The life cycle environmental impacts of the new model radial passenger vehicle tire product was evaluated and compared. the silicon dioxide was added to replace part of the carbon black as filler, with its previous model tire product. The study covers all relevant life cycle stages: from the acquisition of raw materials to the production, use, and end-of-life. The data collected onsite in 2014 by one of the largest Chinese tire companies were used in the assessment. The evaluation is presented in terms of individual impact category according to the CML model. Five impact categories (i.e., global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP), photochemical oxidant creation potential (POCP), eutrophication potential (EP), and human toxicity potential (HTP)) were considered. The research was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14040/14044 standards. The results showed that In all the five impact categories, new model tire product is lower than the previous model in the whole life cycle. It is mostly due to the reduction of the fuel consumption during the use stage, which resulted in replacing part of the carbon black with silicon dioxide. Fuel (gasoline) consumption represents an important contribution to most impact categories, including the GWP, AP, POCP, and EP, during the use stage. Vehicle fuel consumption and its proportion consumed by the tires during the use stage are key factors that contribute to environmental impact during tire life time. The largest contributor to the HTP category is raw material acquisition, mainly because of the impact of the production of organic chemicals. During the raw material acquisition stage, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, and organic chemicals represent the largest contribution to the environmental impact categories, which could be mitigated by reducing the use of raw materials, replacing the aromatic oil with environmental oil in the new model tire product.

Introduction. The objective of the research is to study the effect of the complex activation of the alumina raw material on the rheological properties of the ceramic mass. In addition, the authors investigate solutions for the application of optimal coagulation structures based on loams and ash together with plastic certificates.Materials and methods. The authors used the local forest like reserves of clay loams at the BashKarasu, ash fields of the Bishkek Central Heating Centre (BTEC) and plasticizer (sodium naphthenate obtained from alkaline chemical production wastes) as fibrous materials. Moreover, the authors defined technological properties of raw materials within standard laboratory methodology in accordance with current GOSTs.Results. The researchers tested plastic durability on variously prepared masses for the choice of optimal structures. The paper demonstrated the plastic durability of complexly activated compounds comparing with non-activated and mechanically activated compounds. The sensitivity coefficient increased the amount of clay loams by mechanically and complexly activated, which predetermined the possibility of intensifying the process of drying samples based on complexly activated masses.Discussion and conclusions. However, mechanical activation of clay material reduces the period of relaxation and increases the elasticity coefficient of ceramic masses by 1.8–3.4 times, meanwhile decreases elasticity, viscosity and the conventional power during molding, which generally worsens the molding properties of the masses. Сomplex activation of ash-clay material decreases the period of relaxation and provides an increase in elasticity, plasticity of ceramic masses by 46–47%, reduction in viscosity by 1.5–2 times, conventional power on molding by 37–122% in comparison with MA clay loams. Ceramic masses based on spacecraft alumina raw materials belong to the SMT with improved rheological properties; products based on them pass through the mouthpiece for 5–7 seconds.

Organic materials that are generally used as raw material for organic fertilizer granules (POG) is a natural organic material that has been degrade, smooth and dry. One of the main raw materials are always used with a very high percentage of usage, is manure. Manure potential in Indonesia is very high, amounting to 113.6 million tons per year, or 64.7 million tons per year to the island of Java. From this amount, it will be generated numbers POG production potential of 17.5 million tons per year (total Indonesia) or 9.9 million tons per year for the island of Java. While the realistic POG production predictions figures made from raw manure is 2.5 million tons annually, a figure that has been unable to meet the number requirement of POG greater than 4 million tons per year. Therefore, in producing POG, it should be to maximize the using of the potential of other organic materials so that the use of manure can be saved. With the use of a small amount of manure (maximum 30% for cow manure), it would be useful also to avoid the production of POG with high Fe content.keywods: organic material, manure, granule organic fertilizer

Health indicators of the population depend significantly on the food quality and nutritional value. Simple carbohydrates excess of and lack of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other physiologically active substances increase the risk of socially significant disease progress. The development and production of mass-consumed products with high nutritional and biological value, including affordable non-traditional raw materials use, are promising areas of the food industry development aimed at improving the nutritional status of the population. The article presents the research results on the developed Noodle products recipes from non-traditional raw materials that meet modern healthy nutrition requirements, intended for dietary treatment and dietary prevention of people with overweight / obesity. The research aimed at expanding the range of macaroni products with these characteristics. As the main raw material, a man selected whole-wheat flour – new spelt flour, and as additional raw materials – buckwheat flour, broccoli and celery powders. The researchers found that the introduction of macaroni products from buckwheat spelt, broccoli and celery powders into the recipe had a multidirectional effect, reducing or increasing various indicators of its nutritional value. The changes range did not affect the overall characteristics. The satisfaction degree of the average daily need for food substances and energy when consuming a portion of 100 g for each sample of developed Noodle products allows them to be classified as functional products that are protein and dietary fiber sources, according to the requirements of the TR CU 022/2011.

The book under review is a concise but fairly in-depth study of the prospects for export diversification from the Less Developed Countries (henceforth labeled as LDCs) particularly to Developed Countries (henceforth labeled as OCs). Given the multiple problems faced by the LOCs in exporting to the OCs - protectionist policies with regards to manufactured exports, volatility of prices obtained for raw material exports, etc. - the study analyses the potential for following an intermediate route. The important issues in the export of semi -processed and wholly processed raw materials are discussed. 111ese issues range from the problems and potentials for the location of processing facilities in the LOCs to the formulation of appropriate policies to encourage an export of processed goods rather than raw materials. Such policies will be useful both in solving the balance of-payments problems of the LDCs and in attaining the goal of the Lima Declaration and Plan of Action on Industrial Development and Co-operation, that called for 2S percent of world industrial production to be located in the LOCs by the year 2000.
