| Abstract | ||
| In this work, a novel composite of polyester with rubber particles -obtained from recycled wasted car tires -was developed. Worn tires generate a large amount of wastes that do not derogate resulting in environmental problems. This has the advantage of producing useful product that is economical and eco-friendly. The effect of the volume fraction of the rubber particles in the composites on the physical and mechanical properties of the composites was studied. Varying the volume fraction from 0-60% resulted in an increase in the impact properties. The addition of rubber particles had also the effect of reducing the density of the composites which is a desirable property | ||
