Waste tires are an extremely valuable form of waste in terms of material and amount. Since a sustainable and efficient technology has not yet been developed in the recycling of waste tires, researchers have turned to various applications for the evaluation of this waste. Among these, the evaluation of waste tire powders by adding them to various material compositions has an important place. In these applications, it was observed that the compatibility of the waste rubber powder with the material to which it was added could not be sufficiently achieved due to the nature of the rubber, and as a result, the material properties were adversely affected. Research is continuing intensively to show that various surface treatments (surface modification and surface devulcanization) to be applied to rubber powder increase rubber powder/matrix compatibility. In this study, surface treatments applied to rubber powder were discussed in detail and literature studies on the subject were examined. Studies show that the surface treatments applied to rubber powder increase the compatibility of the powder with the material it is incorporated into.

Atık lastik tozuna uygulanan yüzey işlemleri ve atık lastik tozunun polimer/orijinal kauçuk bileşimlerinde kullanımının incelenmesi

Öz

Atık taşıt lastikleri malzemesi ve miktarı bakımından son derece değerli bir atık formudur. Atık lastiklerin geri kazanımında henüz sürdürülebilir ve verimli bir teknoloji geliştirilemediği için bu atığın değerlendirilmesi konusunda araştırmacılar çeşitli uygulamalara yönelmişlerdir. Bunlar arasında atık lastik tozlarının çeşitli malzeme bileşimlerine katılarak değerlendirilmesi önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu uygulamalarda atık kauçuk tozunun katıldığı malzeme ile uyumunun kauçuğun yapısı gereği yeterince sağlanamadığı, bunun sonucunda malzeme özelliklerinin olumsuz etkilendiği görülmüştür. Kauçuk tozuna uygulanacak çeşitli yüzey işlemlerinin (yüzey modifikasyonu ve yüzey devulkanizasyonu) kauçuk tozu/matris uyumunu arttırdığına yönelik araştırmalar yoğun olarak sürdürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kauçuk tozuna uygulanan yüzey işlemleri detaylı olarak ele alınmış ve konuyla ilgili yapılan literatür çalışmaları incelenmiştir. Yapılan araştırmalar, kauçuk tozuna uygulanan yüzey işlemlerinin, tozun içine katıldığı malzeme ile uyumunu arttırdığını ortaya koymaktadır.
