The Bibliometrics Analysis of the Status and Research Fronts in Preparing Damping Material with Waste Rubber in Terms of Web of Science

The bibliometrics analysis of the literature which was indexed by the databases of SCI-E (Science Citation Index Expanded), SSCI (Social Science Citation Index) and CPCI-S (Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science) was conducted with a span of years from 1997 to 2015 for the fields in preparing damping material with waste rubber using analyses results of Web of Science. In the view of several factors such as international production, country/territory, subject area, and source title, the status and research fronts were investigated for the purpose of promoting the international influence and reputation of this area. It was found that the preparing of damping materials with recycled rubber filled with modified natural rubber, as while as the damping properties of waste rubber and plastics blends (HDPE, PP, and PVC) are the main research hot spots of recent year in this subject.
