Fly Ash in Optimized Composites Based on Recycled Plastics and Rubber

摘要

Recycling represents a sustainable solution for large amounts of waste rubber and plastics. While rubber recycling was long ago up scaled, thermoplastics recycling represents a problem and embedding them in large amounts in a rubber matrix represents a challenge. Adding certain ceramic powders strongly improves the mechanical properties and expands the applications but the three components should be compatible, therefore usually additives must be added.
