This invention relates to improved cellulose nanocrystal fillers for rubber compositions and more specifically with the grafting of disulfide and thioesters onto cellulose nanocrystals for improved performance as a filler in rubber compositions. At least one embodiment describes a method to graft thiols or disulfides on CNC surfaces via esterification exemplified by 3-mercapto-propionic acid (MPA), 3-(acetylthio) propionic acid (APA), or dithiodipronanoic acid (DTDPA). The reaction may be carried out on CNCs highly dispersed in a suitable solvent and improved reaction conditions to achieve a favorable degree of substitution, DS. The embodiment further discloses how surface thiol groups can then be protected, in a second step, as thioesters or asymmetric disulfides to tune the hydrophobicity of CNCs to improve compatibility with styrene-butadiene, SBR, or natural rubbers.

An extrusion facility comprises a core site (5) designed to receive a tool module (6) in order to connect an extruder (4) to it with a view to producing a profiled element (2), the core site (5) being located at a first level (11), referred to as “working level” (11), which is provided with a floor (12) on which an operator can move about to access the core site (5), and an underground-transfer device (30) which makes it possible to convey the tool module (6) to the core site (5) and, respectively, to remove the tool module (6) from the core site (5), from and to, respectively, a remote preparation site (40) by using a lift cage (31, 41) to move the tool module (6) through the floor (12) from, or respectively to, a second level (32), referred to as “basement” (32), which is located below the floor (12).

Abrégé
A process for manufacturing a molding element (10) of a curing mold, the molding element being manufactured by an additive manufacturing process, the molding element comprising a molding inner surface (12) and an outer surface (14), and the molding element comprising at least one vent (20) through which air can pass between the molding inner surface and the outer surface of the molding element, comprises the following steps: (a) additively manufacturing the molding element and at least one porous region in this molding element, the porous region being manufactured so as to have a material density lower than the material density of the molding element outside this porous region, and (b) using a process for removal of material by a laser beam or by a laser beam contained in a water jet to produce at least one vent (20) in the porous region.
