In this laboratory, rubber formulations are developed to obtain specific properties. Among the works developed, the study of polymeric physical mixtures (blends) and the use of different fillers with elastomers, chosen according to their different physical and chemical characteristics, are highlighted, with the objective of analyzing the influence of the structure, mainly, in the rheological and physical-mechanical properties. Different incorporation systems are used in order to increase compatibility and dispersion between components, guaranteeing products with better performance..
