ZANCHET, Aline et al. Cure characteristics, mechanical properties and morphology of composites developed with addition of elastomeric vulcanized ground scraps. Polímeros [online]. 2007, vol.17, n.1, pp.23-27. ISSN 1678-5169.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-14282007000100008.

One alternative for elastomeric scraps generation is its incorporation in conventional formulations in the industry itself. In this work, compositions with incorporation of SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) industrial scraps, in specific ASTM formulation for each elastomer, were prepared. Rheometric characteristics, mechanical properties and the morphology of the compounds developed were evaluated. With the ground scraps incorporation the vulcanization time decreases, comparing with compounds without ground scraps. The amount of scraps for the best tensile strength properties was 37 and 196 phr for SBR and EPDM compositions, respectively. Micrographs corroborated the mechanical results, indicating the best homogeneity of the scraps in the elastomeric matrix for these compositions.
