| Description |
Products made of glass fibre reinforced polymers are often disposed of in landfill,
incinerated or processed into waste powders at the end of their service life. Waste
powders can be recycled as fillers for use in virgin polymers. The effects of up to 50
parts per hundred rubber by weight thermoset polyester resin waste powder on
the viscosity, cure and mechanical properties of a sulphur-cured natural rubber
compound were studied. The powder had resin polymer particles and glass fibre
fragments ranging from approximately a few microns to 700 microns in size.
The viscosity remained unchanged and the cure properties deteriorated when the
powder was added to the rubber. The hardness, Young’s modulus and tensile modulus
increased whereas, the tensile strength, elongation at break, stored energy density at
break and tearing energy decreased. There was also evidence of poor adhesion
between the powder and rubber. It was concluded that the waste powder could be
recycled as an extender filler to replace a portion of the raw rubber in the compound
