RUBBER MANUFACTURING APPROACHES FOR IMPROVED WEAR RESISTANCE IN SPORTS EQUIPMENT
Keywords:
Rubber Manufacturing, Wear Resistance, Sports Equipment, Vulcanization, Material Modification, Rubber Composites, Athletic GearAbstract
In sports equipment manufacturing, rubber materials are widely used due to their durability, elasticity, and ability to absorb impact. However, enhancing the wear resistance of rubber is crucial for improving the performance and lifespan of sports gear. This paper reviews recent advances in rubber manufacturing approaches aimed at optimizing wear resistance. By examining material modifications, vulcanization processes, and the integration of fillers, the study identifies key strategies for developing high-performance rubber composites used in sports applications. The findings highlight how innovative rubber formulations contribute to enhanced durability and efficiency in equipment such as athletic shoes, balls, and protective gear.
