11 October 2024


James Busfield was invited to present the keynote plenary lecture on “Transitions in the Abrasion Behaviour of Tyre Compounds” based upon the work of three different industry funded projects (SRI, AMF1 and Birla Carbon) at the International Rubber Conference 2024 in Turkey.
His Soft Matter Group also made several other presentations. Eathan Plaschka presented on “The relationship between wear morphology and fatigue crack growth in tire tread compounds”, Rattapong Numard presented on “Evaluating the effects of carbon black surface functionality on tyre tread performance”, Thomas Griggs presented on “Optimisation of reversible sulphur crosslinked natural rubber elastomers for recycling” and Kirsty Rutherford presented on “Dielectric and mechanical response of carbon black filled NBR”. In addition, the work of Evangelos Koliolios was presented by his PhD sponsors SRI on “The effect of smear wear layer on wear performance of tyre tread compounds”.
