Abstract:

Wastes management is one of the major topics today for scientists, researchers, and technologists. However, in the last few years industrial waste recycling has more attention all over the world. In this study, three industrial waste materials namely; crumb rubber (CR), textile fiber (TF) and polyurethane foam (PUF) has been combined to develop a new composite material for different application. Binary and ternary composites were obtained during the extrusion process using GMF 106/2 Brabender single continuous mixer. Temperature of mixing chamber and the speed of mechanical shear were 180oC and 100 rpm respectively. These composites have been used in two approaches: first, is applied for modification of asphalt to improve its engineering properties such as softening point, penetration, rutting resistance, and the rheology. Second approach is that using these composites after molded by compression molding as also a new product. The results of first approach showed that, physical properties of modified asphalt have been greatly improved in comparison to the unmodified asphalt. Storage stability of modified asphalt by both composites was also improved compared to the asphalt modified with a single modifier. The finished products obtained during the first approach can advantageously be used for road and pavement construction, waterproof materials, and others. The finished products by second approach can be utilized at industrial application, as well as scientific experimentation as shown in figure 1.
