Özet

Recycling of gamma irradiated inner tubes made of butyl rubber in butyl based rubber compounds was studied. Gamma irradiated inner tube wastes and commercial butyl rubber crumbs devulcanized by conventional methods were replaced with butyl rubber up to 15 phr in the compound recipe. The rheological and mechanical properties and carbon black dispersion degree for both types of compounds were measured and then compared to those of virgin butyl rubber compound.
