MECHANICAL, DYNAMIC AND MORPHOLOGY PROPERTIES OF NATURAL RUBBER (NR)/BUTADIENE RUBBER (BR) BLENDS WITH RECYCLED RUBBER POWDER

RESULTS & DISCUSSIONS

Little change in mechanical properties such as tensile, hardness and abrasionproperties with the addition of up to 30 pphr of RRP-TB, but a significantdeterioration in the fatigue life properties. Thus, common mechanical, e.g.tensile properties may only be used as quality control test of the strength, whiledynamic test is needed to assess their strength and durability for long termapplications.

The morphology of fracture surfaces from tensile tests showed apparent cracklines which lay across the matrix and surrounding particles indicating de-bondingof the crumb particles.

Compound containing RRP-TB-30 had higher tan δ at 0ºC whichis indicative of better wet skidproperties.

Conversely, the compoundexhibited slightly higher rollingresistance as indicated bymarginal higher tan δ at 60ºCcompared to the controlcompound.
