Abstract
Waste disposal of solid materials has become a major issue in the last years. Waste tire rubber is one of the major issues in solid waste disposal. Waste tires are stored in landfills which is an environmental hazard. One of the ways for safe disposal is to use it as particles in polymeric composites. Unsaturated polyester resins have been one of the best polymers used as a matrix in polymeric composites because of their availability and desirable properties. To increase the interfacial adhesion between the particles and the polymer matrix, ground tire rubber is treated. Microwave energy is used to treat tire rubber particles, which is an environmentally friendly process. The effect of this type of treatment on the mechanical properties of polyester/rubber composites is studied. Interfacial adhesion is verified through mechanical testing and morphological analysis. Tension and impact tests were performed to compare the properties of composites before and after rubber particles treatment. The morphological examination reveals an increase in adhesion, which affects the composites` mechanical properties.
