The chair of Elastomer Technology and Engineering (ETE) is part of the department of Mechanics of Solid, Surfaces and Systems (MS3) at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Its roots reach back to the early eighties, was established 2000 by Prof. Dr. J. Noordermeer and since 2013, Prof. Dr. Anke Blume has been appointed as head of the group. Currently, ETE consists of approximately 30 members including staff, Postdocs, Master, PhD and PDEng students of 14 different nationalities. The ETE research focuses on rubber material development with an emphasis on filler and tire tread technology, silica/silane filled natural rubber compounds, recycling and sustainability. One of the strengths of ETE is the wide cooperation with industrial partners, universities and research institutes all over the world. With its experience, broad network and knowledge the ETE group is established as one of the biggest rubber research groups worldwide.

Dear colleagues, Prof. Anke Blume. Dr. Rafał Anyszka and I, are working together as Guest Editors on a Special Issue about elastomers for the journal Polymers. The title of the Special Issue is "Exploration and Innovation in Sustainable Rubber Performance". This Special Issue is looking for papers studying new systems to improve rubber performance to design compounds with advanced properties or specific functionalities, improve recyclability, and increase the use of bio-based materials, all of which provide new insights into how to make rubber more sustainable. If you would like to contribute with a research paper or review, you can find more information on the link below!
A follow-up to our last post. Chigusa Yamada had a further look into the "reactions in silica/silane compounds with functionalized SBRs" https://lnkd.in/ebaMP_vm #ETE #rubber #functionalizedSBR
Who doesn't like to modify polymers and see how they influence silica/silane filled compounds? We do very much as shown by Chigusa Yamada in her recent publication: "Influence of the number of end-chain amine-functionalized arms of star-shaped functionalized SBR" #ETE #rubber #polymerfunctionalization

✨Exciting job opportunity! ✨ As you know, I will be joining the faculty at the University of Twente from October 1. Together with my future collaborator, Fabian Grunert, we are looking for a PhD student which will be jointly supervised by him and myself. Please have a look at the exciting opportunity and if you are interested, please write to me! #phd #jobalert #twente #modelling #characterization #aerogel #rubber
We would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your interest in our research chair ETE - Elastomer Technology and Engineering. 1000 followers, a tremendous number we could never have imagined to reach! We will keep you posted on our research output, conference contributions, education and upcoming events. Share your passion for rubber with us and meet you all in person soon! #ETE #rubber
Thank you very much Deutsches Institut für Kautschuktechnologie e. V. for hosting this years' 15th Fall Rubber Colloquium (KHK). Still the top tier scientific conference in the field of rubber technology! #ETE #rubber #KHK2024 #DIK
The degradation of NR during mixing is quite a challenge, especially in silica filled compounds. Our PhD student Ammarin Kraibut investigated this phenomenon in relation to prolonged silanization times. His findings are summarized in following paper: #ETE #rubber #NR #degradation #silanization
