The present work reports the first synthesis of biobased polyurethanes utilizing soy-based polyols that are synthesized by epoxy ring opening of epoxidized soybean oil with chemicals bearing two different functionalities. ...

In this study, oil and freeze resistant performance of rubber compounds with non-carcinogenic (phthalate-free) plasticizer were investigated. Acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer (NBR), polychloroprene rubber (CR), styrene-butadiene ...

In this study, nano-scaled silica was prepared by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in presence of cyclohexylamine (CHA) as catalyst. Surface treatment of the nano-particles was carried ...
