Enhanced Ozone Aging Resistance of Natural Rubber with 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole as the Constant-Viscosity Agent by Juan Zhou, Peng Deng, Hongxing Gui, Junxiao Xu, Jianhe Liao, Aiwu Ding

“…Recently, some type of constant-viscosity agent has played a key role to be used for the treatment of NR, especially for the effect of ozone aging resistance. In this study, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) was introduced into NR, and the constant viscosity and ozone aging resistance of NR with different contents of MBT were investigated using an accelerated storage experiment and an ozone aging experiment, respectively. …”

Study of the mechanical behaviour of hydraulic lime mortars with and without basalt fibres, at different ages by Analía Vázquez, María Isabel Prieto, María de las Nieves González, Alfonso Cobo

“…After previous studies on the addition of these basalt fibres in different lengths (6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 mm), it was decided to repeat the mechanical tests at long ages (180 days) in order to confirm the suitability of basalt fibres as reinforcement of these hydraulic lime mortars, which proved to have a favourable effect on the mechanical behaviour both at 28 and 180 days, and to conclude that basalt fibres of 12 mm in length continue to be the ones that work best in mechanical tests…”
