This paper explores the effect of waste rubber grain size on porosity, modulus elasticity, thermal properties, and soundproofing performance polymer composites with different thicknesses (10, 15, 20 mm). All properties were tested in accordance European standards, exception which was measured using Archimedes’ principle. The findings indicate that a consistent amount polyurethane glue, finer grains result higher leading to lower elasticity but enhanced sound insulation. In contrast, coarser produced porosity though slightly reduced insulation significantly worse soundproofing. A combination fine coarse provided balanced performance, offering both good while maintaining high elasticity. Among tested, 15 mm identified as optimal, combining relatively low conductivity, better airborne index. Future research will focus applying this composite concrete building products meet noise protection energy efficiency standards.

Application of Waste Tire in Construction: A Road Towards Sustainability and Circular Economy DOI Open Access
Mohammad R. Hassan, Denis Rodrigue

Published: March 13, 2024

The global demand for rubber is on a steady rise, which driven by the increasing production of automobiles and growing need industrial, medical, household products. This surge in has led to significant increase waste, posing major environmental challenge. End-of-life tire (ELT) primary source possesses hazards due its massive stockpiles. While landfilling low-cost easy-to-implement solution, it now largely prohibited concerns. Recently, ELT waste garnered considerable attention potential applications civil engineering construction. These not only enhance sustainability but also foster circular economy between construction sectors. review article concentrates recent research progress challenges waste. It discusses commercially available recycled rubber-based materials, their properties, testing standards, certification. To best authors' knowledge, this first time such discussion commercial products been presented.

Published: Jan. 22, 2025

This paper presents a thorough literature review on devulcanization methods applied to waste tire rubber: “microwave devulcanization” and “biological desulfurization”. To do so, 80 papers published from the year 1990 2024 in journals with subscription open access status across 12 databases were reviewed. compares efficacy reviews basic concepts, advantages, processes, variable parameters of these two methods. In microwave devulcanization, energy breaks sulfur crosslinks between polymer chains. The latter breakage is mainly enabled by presence carbon black tire, which an excellent absorbent. biological desulfurization, bacteria or fungi convert elemental substances sulfate. general, rubber leads lower crosslink density thus higher degree devulcanization. On one hand, breaking requires significantly shorter time than desulfurization. Crosslink scission occurs throughout sample but only surface Microwave not sensitive additives does require detoxification before other desulfurization since it involves living organisms that may tolerate certain additives.

This article investigates the safety potential of a freight transportation company, considering tire set selection as one most important aspects to ensure safe driving and reliable service. The revision sets in large vehicle fleets is attributed new regulation from United Nations maintain non-deteriorating wet braking performance up minimum allowable wear limit, encouraging both sector sustainability, significant part tires are currently replaced before reaching tread depth 3 mm. In this research, an experimental test was conducted that involved four maneuvers with truck using ten different (including retreaded) determine which performs better critical conditions. results then analyzed TOPSIS method where efficient best alternatives selected. Finally, trucks on road appropriate evaluated by estimated accident reduction potential. It should be mentioned optimal also for sustainable transportation, pollution worn remains relevant environmental issue.
