New Design of Composite Materials Based on Scrap Rubber Matrix Reinforced with Epoxy and SiC

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of the scrap material and the additional elements on the structure and mechanical properties of multi-phase system. All of the composites were fabricated by mixing during 4h and then put in an ultrasonic dispersion for 1h. After that, a detail analyses are carried out by the means of Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA), Microindentation and scratch test. The structure was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The present study will help to optimize the parameters of this newly designed composite material allowing to find different possibilities for the industrial applications and to contribute in the war with the waste rubber materials.
