Characterization of Mixed Pellets Made from Rubberwood () and Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Waste as Pellet Fuel.

The objective of this study was to investigate the production and properties of mixed pellets made from rubberwood ( Muell. Arg) and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) waste with no added binder. Three different conditions of mixed pellets were developed to compare their chemical and physical properties to rubberwood pellets.

Some Properties of Composite Drone Blades Made from Nanosilica Added Epoxidized Natural Rubber.

The objective of this study was to investigate the basic properties of composite materials that were made from epoxidized natural rubber and nanosilica to be used as blades for drones. Nanocomposite samples were prepared with 5% of epoxidized natural rubber and epoxy resin loaded with 3% nanosilica. Their resistance against accelerated weathering conditions as well as mechanical properties, including flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness, were evaluated.
