Abstract

To recycle spent tires, the combination of powder comminution and compression molding of resulting powders (without virgin rubber or linking agent) is an efficient solution to produce rubber components with good mechanical properties. Previous studies showed the feasibility of this recycling technology but new efforts are necessary to increase the rubber part size and complexity as well as to find new industrial applications. In this study, some important technological aspects of direct powder molding have been analyzed for the first time: the ability of giving a complex shape to the rubber part or performing secondary works to improve aesthetics and functions.
