Curing and characterization of tire tread reclaimed rubber towards enhanced physical properties

International legislation and growing environmental issues have put a lot of pressure on companies and manufacturers to minimize and recycle scrap. Such demands have had significant consequences for the rubber tire industry to use recycled rubbers from the scrap tire. As such, this research project is an initiative taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) at the University of British Columbia and Circular Rubber Technologies (CRT) in BC to design a processing and formulation to improve the physical properties of reclaimed rubber (obtained from scrap tire) so it can be reused as the rubber materials for tire industry or any other relevant industry.
