Abstract

Ground rubber tire (GRT) particles of different sizes were characterized and the effect of these particles in a natural rubber (NR) compound was studied. It is found that smaller particles contain less polymer, but have higher amounts of fillers and metals with respect to polymer. NR compound containing smaller GRT particles shows better physical properties, but poorer aging characteristics.
