Description The candidate will evaluate the possibility to use different biofiller (e.g cellulose, starch, etc) as green reinforcing agent in tires compunds to develop eco-friendly tires for Michelin company. The possibility to modify the surface of those biofillers will be evaluated to enhance the filler-matrix adhesion. After the mixing step, the compounds will be vulcanized and the mechanical properties of the obtained samples will be evaluated and compared with the one obtained by the commercially available Michelin compounds.
