Prior work has studied a range of polymer types and filler types to understand the effect of filler-polymer interaction on abrasion. A series of model compounds was studied, including three polymer types and two filler types. The polymer types were E-SBR, S-SBR and F-S-SBR. This allowed for the examination of the effect of polymer-filler interaction strength.

Read More Revenue from the global silicone coatings market currently stands at US$ 6.64 billion. Worldwide consumption of silicones coatings is projected to increase at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2032, as per a new analysis by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider.
The silicone coatings market will be primarily driven by trends of industrialization and urbanization across the world. Rising construction activities, increasing use of silicone coatings in automotive manufacturing, and growing popularity of the features of silicone coatings are expected to favor market growth. However, high costs of production and increased availability of low-cost alternatives are anticipated to have a hindering effect on the demand growth of silicone coatings over the coming years.
Tensile testing is arguably the most common test method used in both force measurement and material testing. Tensile testing is used primarily to determine the mechanical behavior of a component, part or material under static, axial loading.
