Tire Rubber Powder/ Rice Husk Ash Polymer Compound

Abstract

The advantage of the incorporation of tire rubber powder and rice husk ash in the polymer compound is mainly due to the reduction of the products cost, as well as improving the essential properties for a great processing of the material, for example, its flow into a hole of a thin wall mold. The rice husk ash can replaces the carbon black in the new products, contributing with the improvement of the environment and the economy of the society. Main objectives of this work are: enhance the applications of the ashes from the rice husk and the waste from the tire rubber, as well as, study new methods of recycling of polymeric wastes, to incorporate an aggregated value to the recycled materials as well as obtaining compounds or nanocompounds materials.

Effect of different compatibilizers on injection-molded green composite pieces based on polylactide filled with almond shell flour

“…disintegration in compost soil [11,12]. In recent years, it has been reported the use of a wide variety of these plantderived fillers such as rice hull [13][14][15], peanut skin [16,17], Posidonia oceanica seagrass [18], corn cob and sunflower hull [19], pineapple flour [20], etc. In this context, almond shell flour (ASF) particles are very promising fillers in green composites due to the increasing consumption of pastries, almond milk, and other almond-derived products in the food industry [21,22].…”
