Molecular Rebar Design awarded SBIR EPA Phase I grant

n Phase I, Molecular Rebar Design, LLC will determine what type of carbon nanotube surface functionality is most effective at preventing crack propagation, and then formulate tire sidewall elastomer compounds with those nanotubes while varying the type and quantity of antiozonant present in the sidewall compounds. These rubber compounds will undergo ozone aging to simulate real-world conditions, whereafter the aged samples will be tested for differences in crack resistance, lifetime, tear strength, and intrinsic strength. These experiments will culminate in a sidewall compound formulation that is less environmentally damaging than incumbent compounds that utilize a full loading of 6PPD.
