Read MoreA research team from the University of Akron, supported by funding from Hyundai NGV, has developed a soft sensor system designed to study the behavior of rubber components in automotive pneumatic systems. This academic effort, published in Smart Materials and Structures on February 27, 2025, represents a step towards advancing knowledge, as no prior research has specifically explored the use of soft sensors to examine rubber performance in this context.
Read MoreSimForm has been a game-changer in injection molding, offering users the ability to quickly & easily predict temperatures, optimize cooling channel placement, and improve the quality of molded parts in an entirely new way. With the extension to compression molding, SimForm continues to lead the way in mold design innovation. This new feature allows users to leverage the same intuitive, fast, affordable, cloud-based platform to design tools for compression molding.
Read Morehirty years ago, Continental used silica for the very first time in its tread compounds for car tires. The properties of this filler revolutionized the driving safety and energy efficiency of tires. Rolling resistance has been significantly reduced, and braking distances have since been cut by nearly 50 percent. This was made possible by the special surface properties of silica, which can form chemical bonds with the rubber polymer. During vulcanization – the process in which the tire obtains its shape – silica, as well as other components, is responsible for the formation of a very strong network between the rubber molecules. The result is an elastic tire with excellent safety properties.
Read MoreDuolec Industrial Gear Oil features Duolec®, a proprietary dual-acting additive that significantly enhances the oil’s load-carrying capacity and provides unparalleled protection against wear. This unique technology forms a molecular barrier on metal surfaces, effectively reducing friction and preventing destructive metal-to-metal contact. As a result, tire manufacturers can expect extended gear life, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.
