The National Science Foundation awarded $799,762 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Stony Brook University for a project grant titled "Rubber Aging at the Microscopic Scale." The University will use the three-year award ending June 2025 to examine the aging process of rubber tires at the molecular level. Researchers will analyze bound rubber molecules at the interface between rubber and filler materials like carbon black to better understand their role in material properties and durability over time. They will artificially age sample rubber composites and use neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulations to study the resulting structural and dynamical changes. In parallel, x-ray experiments during mechanical deformation will provide insight into the evolving filler network. Results from this integrated experimental and computational analysis of model rubber systems aim to advance knowledge of structure-property relationships during aging and inform material designs for improved tire performance and safety.
