Studying the Effects of Thermo-oxidative Aging on the Mechanical, Tribological and Chemical Properties of Styrene-butadiene Rubber
… degradation and eventual tire failure is 'rubber aging.' It can be defined as an alteration in the mechanical, chemical, physical, or morphological properties of elastomers under the influence of various environmental factors during processing, storing and use. Some of these environmental factors …

A study of Asphalt Aging Behavior Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Oxidative aging is a major issue in asphalt pavements that leads to hardening of the asphalt, which further contributes significantly to asphalt pavement embrittlement and eventually results in excessive pavement cracking. In addition, the performance of asphalt binder is also highly related to its …

Non-destructive quantitative assessment of oxidation in aged and rejuvenated asphalt concrete pavements using a non-collinear wave mixing approach
Oxidative aging in asphalt concrete pavements is one of the chief contributors to pavement degradation. Oxidation contributes to the formation of a diffuse micro-flaw population in the mastic. This damage is primarily concentrated at the top (surface) of the pavement, where exposure to oxygen is …

Manufacture of and Environmental Effects on Carbon Fiber-Reinforced PhenylEthynyl-Terminated Poly(EtherImide)
… with other high-performance composites. Encouraging results led to a study of moisture sorption effects on CFR 3kPETU properties. The success of these initial studies spawned the large scale production of 2,500 g/mol (2.5k) PETU. Thermal characterization of neat and CFR 2.5kPETU via …

Mechanical properties of degraded PMR-15 resin
Thermo-oxidative aging produces a non-uniform degradation state in PMR-15 resin. A surface layer, usually attributed to oxidative degradation, forms. This surface layer has different properties from the inner material. A set of material tests was designed to separate the properties of the oxidized …

Innovative approach to use guayule resin as a bio-based asphalt alternative
… bonding chains attributed to guayule, the oxidative aging negatively affected the guayule-based binder’s long-term distresses. Validation by mix performance assessment revealed that guayule supported mix stability against moisture (particularly at lower air contents), rutting, and fatigue …

Engineering Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Environmental Applications
… acid bilayer coatings, before and after surface (oxidative) aging, extensive evaluation of surface/collector deposition and release behaviors and processes over a range of water chemistries and surface types (hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic) are described using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based …

Surfactant Behavior in Atmospheric Aerosols
… CCN activity. This led to the idea that oxidative aging in the atmosphere might not always increase the hygroscopicity of aerosols. Overall, the results of this thesis demonstrate how variable aerosol properties are due to the organics present within complex aerosol compositions. This …

Durability of Polyimide/Titanium Adhesive Bonds: An Interphase Investigation
… systems are subjected to elevated temperature oxidative aging. In a previous study, this was found to be the case with a polyimide adhesive bonded to chromic acid anodized (CAA) Ti-6Al-4V. The objective of the current research has been twofold: 1) to investigate the effect of thermal aging on …

Predictive kinetic modeling of low-temperature hydrocarbon oxidation
… liquid fuel for detailed kinetic modeling of oxidative aging leading to deposit precursors. In addition to fuel chemistry, the immiscibility of polar oxidation products leading to 'soft deposit' is modeled using linear solvation energy relationships. The chemistry and phase separation models …
