Investigation of pseudo-thermoplastic elastomers by extrusion - compounding of de-vulcanized elastomeric waste and compatible thermoplastics

最近在废弹性体废料的去硫化方面的技术进步允许创造一种新的聚合材料类别。脱硫化技术生产的弹性体原料 ** 在技术上和经济上都适合与热塑性塑料混合。所得共混物模拟共嵌段和三嵌段热塑性弹性体的物理和加工性能。NRT Canada Inc.已开发出一种用于废热固性材料的硫化技术并获得专利的NRT将与兰顿学院工业材料开发中心（CIMD）合作，通过该项目学习如何将NRT的硫化材料与各种塑料结合，以提供模拟热塑性弹性体（TPE）物理和技术性能的材料。兰顿学院的研究团队将包括一名研究技术人员、一名研究科学家和三名研究 ** 学生，他们将与NRT加拿大公司密切合作，改善回收材料的功能。该项目的 ** 结果将通过增加市场机会、制造能力和成本竞争力为NRT提供经济效益。研究结果还将通过创造就业机会、提高出口和全球竞争力以及加强清洁技术，为加拿大和该地区带来经济和环境影响。

Recent technological advances in the de-vulcanization of waste elastomer scrap allows for the creation of a**new category of polymeric materials. De-vulcanization technology produces elastomeric raw materials**technically and economically suitable for blending with thermoplastics. The resultant blends mimic the**physical and processing properties of co- and ter- block thermoplastic elastomers.**NRT Canada Inc. who has developed and patented a de-vulcanization technology for scrap thermoset**elastomeric waste will collaborate with Lambton College's Centre for Industrial Material Development (CIMD)**through this project is to learn how to incorporate NRT's de-vulcanized material with varying plastics to**provide materials that emulate the physical and technical properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).**The Lambton College research team will include a research technician, research scientist and three research**students who will work closely with NRT Canada Inc to improve the function of the recycled material. The**results of the project will provide economic benefit to NRT by increasing market opportunity, manufacturing**capabilities and cost competiveness. The results will also provide economic and environmental impact to**Canada and the region by creating jobs, increasing exporting and global competiveness and enhancing clean**technologies.
