Through the contrast test of the different proportion scrap tire rubber powder insulation mortar, the scrap tire rubber powder influence on cracking mortar performance such as the physical, mechanical performance and the shrinkage cracking. Experiment shows that waste rubber particles can improve mortar toughness; the mortar drying shrinkage and the crack of early plastic shrinkage are restrained effectively. But for keeping mortar workability and mortar compressive, flexural strength is the effect of unfavorable.

Applying modified waste rubber particle to surface mortar can give full play of the unique characteristics to utilize the waste and decrease environmental pollution. In order to study the application performance of crumb rubber mortar, five different mortar proportions are selected to determine the compressive strength, flexural strength, impact strength and thermal aging strength. The results show that rubber particles mortar possess excellent toughness, impact resistance and heat aging properties.

Waste plastic, such as polyethylene (PE), and waste rubber tires, are pollutants that adversely affect the environment. Thus, the ways these materials are used are important in realizing the goals of reduced CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality. This paper investigates the fundamental properties, compatibility, and interaction mechanism of waste plastic/rubber-modified asphalt (WPRMA). Dynamic shear rheology, fluorescence microscopy, a differential scanning calorimeter, and molecular dynamic simulation software were used to evaluate the properties and mechanisms of WPRMA. The results show that the anti-rutting temperature of WPRMA with different waste plastic contents is higher than 60 °C and the optimal dosage of waste PE in WPRMA is 8%, which can enhance the high-temperature properties and compatibility of rubber-modified asphalt. The temperature can directly promote the melting and decomposition of the functional groups in WPRMA and thus must be strictly controlled during the mix production process. The interaction mechanism suggests that waste plastic can form networks and package the rubber particles in rubber-modified asphalt. The main force between waste plastic and rubber is Van der Waals force, which rarely occurs in chemical reactions.

Lots of waste rubber is being produced in the world and the utilization of it not only mitigate environmental impacts caused by waste rubber disposal but also enhance sustainable development. As a result, rubberized concrete, by incorporation of waste rubber into concrete, should be considered as one of the effective strategies to take advantage of waste rubber. However, problems such as low strengths, weak adhesion between rubber particles and cement pastes, and undesirable pore structures associated with rubberized concrete should be pay more attention to. In this study, the effect of replacement fine aggregate with rubber particles on rheological and mechanical properties of concrete containing CaCO3 nanoparticles was examined through slump, compressive and flexural strength tests. Rubber particles were employed to replace the fine aggregate equally by volume while CaCO3 nanoparticles were used as an equal part of binder by weight. Different sizes and volume contents of rubber particles were evaluated as well as different weight contents of CaCO3 nanoparticles. In addition, corresponding tests were also performed to evaluate the effect of CaCO3 nanoparticles in comparison to concrete specimens without CaCO3 nanoparticles. The results showed that replacement fine aggregates with rubber particles had some influence on the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete, resulting in undesirable findings in terms of compressive and flexural strengths. However, the incorporation of CaCO3 nanoparticles improved mechanical properties of rubberized concrete. Regarding slump test, the rubberized concrete without CaCO3 nanoparticles showed better performance. Considering rheological and mechanical properties, rubberized concrete with 1% CaCO3 nanoparticles presented acceptable results.

The principal objective of this research project is the disposal of end-of-life tire rubber waste and its incorporation in gypsum composites. As a continuation of previous projects, which established a reduction in the mechanical properties of the resulting products, the behavior of these composites is analyzed with the incorporation of carbon fibers. The density, Shore C hardness, flexural strength, compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, strength–strain curves, toughness and resistance values and microstructure of the material are studied and compared. The results obtained show a significant increase in the mechanical tensile strength of all of the samples containing fibers. The moduli of elasticity results show a decrease in rigidity and increase in toughness and resistance of the material produced by incorporating the fibers. An optimum dosage of a water/gypsum ratio of 0.6 and incorporation of 1.5% carbon fibers is proposed. This lightweight material, which offers a high mechanical performance, features characteristics which are suitable for large prefabricated building elements in the form of panels or boards.

Currently, plastics and rubbers are broadly being used to produce a wide range of products for several applications like automotive, building and construction, material handling, packaging, toys, etc. However, their waste (materials after their end of life) do not degrade and remain for a long period of time in the environment. The increase of polymeric waste materials’ generation (plastics and rubbers) in the world led to the need to develop suitable methods to reuse these waste materials and decrease their negative effects by simple disposal into the environment. Combustion and landfilling as traditional methods of polymer waste elimination have several disadvantages such as the formation of dust, fumes, and toxic gases in the air, as well as pollution of underground water resources. From the point of energy consumption and environmental issues, polymer recycling is the most efficient way to manage these waste materials. In the case of rubber recycling, the waste rubber can go through size reduction, and the resulting powders can be melt blended with thermoplastic resins to produce thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds. TPE are multi-functional polymeric materials combining the processability of thermoplastics and the elasticity of rubbers. However, these materials show poor mechanical performance as a result of the incompatibility and immiscibility of most polymer blends. Therefore, the main problem associated with TPE production from recycled materials via melt blending is the low affinity and interaction between the thermoplastic matrix and the crosslinked rubber. This leads to phase separation and weak adhesion between both phases. In this review, the latest developments related to recycled rubbers in TPE are presented, as well as the different compatibilisation methods used to improve the adhesion between waste rubbers and thermoplastic resins. Finally, a conclusion on the current situation is provided with openings for future works.
