“…In 2019, the consumption of fumed silica in the silicone rubber industry accounted for more than 58% of the total consumption. In recent years, because photovoltaics, − anti-impact structures, vibration isolators, adhesives, colloidal batteries, and other downstream industrial , applications are flourishing, China’s fumed silica industry is booming, and the production capacity has increased significantly. China has gradually become a major driving force for the growth of the fumed silica market globally.…”

As one of the most important high-tech nanomaterials, fumed silica has been widely used in many industrial fields due to its unique properties. However, particle size uniformity is still the technical barrier in this industry after years of development. Therefore, numerical simulations are employed to optimize the process parameters of a premixed multiring high-speed jet oxyhydrogen combustion reactor, and the result is applied to actual process units used in fumed silica production. By maintaining temperature consistency between inlet 2 and inlet 1 and increasing the gas flow rates of inlet 3 and inlet 4, the HCl flow and temperature field distribution in the reactor are improved significantly. The back mixing of HCl and the blocking of particles to the combustion reactor are suppressed. Compared to the original process, the median diameter (D50) of agglomerates particles and the 45 μm sieve residue content are decreased by 6.4 μm and 19.0 mg g–1, respectively. In addition, the tensile strength of high-temperature vulcanized rubber is increased by 1–1.5 MPa. The presented simulations provide technical support for quality improvements of fumed silica and a theoretical basis for the rational design of industrial combustion reactors.

Amid the search for alternatives to petrochemical‐based polymers and growing concern for environmental sustainability, natural polymers have gained significant attention. These polymers have potential applications in household appliances to advanced energy systems and offer a way to address the depletion and sustainability challenges associated with synthetic polymers. One such natural source of polymer is natural rubber (NR), which has been developed as a highly performing material in electrodes and electrolytes. Nowadays, researchers are more interested in NR due to its sustainability, affordability, elastomeric properties, and low glass transition temperature. This article presents a comprehensive exploration of NR characteristics, delving into its elasticity, glass transition temperature, and an extensive evaluation of its potential as a hydrogel electrolyte. Furthermore, this investigation showcases NR's capability to mitigate potential long‐term consequences of synthetic materials. Given NR's inherent insulating nature, a meticulous analysis of the interplay between NR composites and their electrical properties within electrodes is prompted. This article provides a review of past research, growth and development, and prospects of NR and its derivatives as in applications including electrochemical energy storage, energy harvesting, wastewater treatment, and slow‐release fertilizers. Moreover, the study briefly underscores the importance of NR while acknowledging its limitations.

“…Grafting of one or two molecules with NR is another method of modification in NR. [8] The reaction of olefinic double bond by addition or substitution method results in highly durable material for a variety of applications. [9][10][11] Surface tackiness and frictional resistance of NR can be overcome by this method of chemical modification.…”

This research article focuses on the preparation of chlorinated natural rubber (Cl-NR)/nickel oxide (NiO) nanocomposites by a simple and greener two-roll mill mixing technique. X-ray diffraction study of the rubber nanocomposites showed the systematic arrangement of NiO nanoparticles in the polymer indicates the improved crystallinity of the nanocomposites. The composite prepared with a nanofiller content of 5 phr (parts per hundred parts of rubber) exhibited the best homogenous dispersion of filler in rubber as evident from field emission scanning electron microscopy and HRTEM images. The glass transition temperature obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was found to be increased with an increase in the concentration of nanofiller in the polymer. The flame resistance of rubber composites was significantly improved with increasing the filler content and this aids the fabrication of fireresistant household gadgets. The AC conductivity and dielectric behavior of composites were scrutinized with special emphasis on filler loading at various frequencies. The AC conductivity, dielectric loss and dielectric constant of the nanocomposites were higher than pure Cl-NR. The cure time was considerably reduced with the incorporation of filler, resulting in the easy fabrication of rubber products at a cheaper rate. The mechanical properties (tensile strength, modulus, hardness, tear resistance, heat build-up) of the nanocomposites were increased with the addition of NiO indicating its high reinforcing ability. The maximum mechanical and electrical properties were observed for 5phr NiO loaded nanocomposite and these samples can be potential candidates for the fabrication of electromagnetic induction shielding materials, conducting adhesives and flame resistant flexible electronic devices.
