  • Publication number: 20240092993
    Abstract: An organometallic compound is incorporated into a vulcanized rubber matrix. A tunable, multi-phase copper sulfide lattice is compounded within an existing sulfur cross-linked morphology, as in crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires or other vulcanized rubber, whereby thermotropic properties of the rubber matrix are modulated. The process involves breaking of sulfur-sulfur and/or sulfur-carbon bonds through action of the carbon sulfide. The resulting rubber is suitable for use in applications typically utilizing virgin rubber, such as new tires, engineered rubber articles, and asphalt rubber for use in waterproofing and paving applications. In other embodiments, an organometallic compound comprising iron acetate or alkaline earth metal acetate is incorporated into the vulcanized rubber matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230201792
    Abstract: Continuous processing equipment is suitable for use in the preparation of elastomeric compositions from end-of-life tire crumb or other vulcanized rubber starting materials. A reactor includes an outer barrel, a first shaft and a second shaft, and one or more piezoelectric transducer-driven acoustic horns arranged along the outer barrel and penetrating the outer barrel through a series of vibration-isolated ports which traverse a jacket of the outer barrel.

  • Publication number: 20230127284
    Abstract: Crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires is subjected to a process involving photodissociation to break a sulfur bond, sulfur-sulfur and/or sulfur-carbon bonds. The process utilizes a component that generates photonic energy upon being subjected to a compressing force (e.g., pressure). The photonic energy is bandwidth resonant with the sulfur-sulfur and/or sulfur-carbon bond, causing the bond to break apart. The resulting rubber is suitable for use in applications typically utilizing virgin rubber, such as new tires, engineered rubber articles, and asphalt rubber for use in waterproofing and paving applications.

  • Publication number: 20220372257
    Abstract: PRISM Thermoplastic Rubber (PTR) is a novel, composite rubber material technology principally compounded from EOL, ambient ground, whole tires through the management of a unique process governed by the application of advanced, quantum field physics. The value from this technology is to provide a virgin-material-analog that may be readily integrated at high ratio, into new tire construction using conventional tire chemistry and manufacturing techniques resulting in a sustainable and significant, positive cost-benefit ratio as compared to current tire manufacturing economics.

  • Patent number: 11474013
    Abstract: A Fatigue Performance Test induces a traffic analogous, 60 cycle, stress-strain environment into a road pavement cross section through a rolling cyclic fatigue platform. Data from the encounter dynamic reveals where strain build-up is occurring well before external, visually detectable evidence of fatigue failure is present in the pavement sample from cracks or permanent deformation. Responsive tuning of the embedded, sensor firmware establishes a baseline status for the sample whereupon incoming data gathered during the stress-strain encounter dynamic reveals details of fatigue build-up.
