basaldendrittien

Basaldendrittien is a rare type of dendrite found in black and gray asphalts or tar of automobile origins, particularly on the tires of vehicles. It is a term coined by Franz Ferdinand Tillmann, a German cement chemist, who first described the phenomenon in 2013.

The Basaldendrittien phenomenon occurs when tire rubber particles disintegrate and break down over time, resulting in a branching network of micro-scale structures that exhibit a distinctive dendritic pattern. These intricate patterns are created by the process of thermal degradation, oxidation, and solvent extraction, which chemically alter the molecular structure of the tire rubber.

The formation of Basaldendrittien is influenced by various factors, including the composition of the tire rubber, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the chemical properties of the asphalt or tar it is embedded in. It is found in varying degrees of structural complexity, depending on the specific conditions under which it develops.

Studies of Basaldendrittien have focused on its appearance and identification in microscopic images, as well as its potential implications for understanding the degradation processes of tire rubbers and other elastomeric materials. Researchers have proposed using Basaldendrittien as a marker for the aging process of tire rubber, which could have practical applications in quality control and material degradation assessment.

Further research is required to fully understand the properties and behavior of Basaldendrittien and its potential applications in science and industry. Its discovery and study are part of ongoing investigations into the material degradation processes of tire rubbers and other polymers.
