A "Green" Rubber Compound for Making Tire Tread with Antistatic Feature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrostatic charges are potentially generated on a commercial vehicle through several ways, such as friction of its rubber tyres while rolling on the road and also from the rotating of its mechanical components (e.g. bearings shaft). If these accumulated electrostatic charges are not dissipated from the vehicle, interferences of electronic components within the vehicle may occur. Highly accumulated electrostatic charges may also lead to safety hazards (e.g. fires and explosions) for vehicles that transporting highly flammable materials or during the vehicles refueling process.
