5. Glossary
Silica; silica
Silica is the natural form of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), a constituent of many minerals.
Résistance au roulement (rolling resistance)
Rolling resistance is defined as the energy lost per unit distance traveled by the tire.
Elastomer; elastomer
An elastomer is a polymer with "elastic" properties, obtained after cross-linking. It can withstand very large deformations before breaking.
Viscoelasticity; viscoelasticity
Viscoelasticity is the property of a material to dissipate energy in the form of heat when it undergoes deformation.
LCV (Lower Heating Value)
The net calorific value is a property of fuels. It is...
