Abstract

The rapid development of rubber industry produces more and more waste rubber. Due to rubber’s non-biodegradable characteristics, it causes serious environmental pollution. Thus waste rubber recycling has been an increasing problem of global strategy. China is the biggest rubber products consuming country in the world, the annual consumption of 3700000 tons of rubber. Reclaimed rubber will help to develop rubber product. Thermoplastic (TPEs) has emerged its importance in in engineering product. It is the combination of the rubber and plastic materials. From these two material, the fracture surface of failed material to determine the method of crack formation and extension. Polypropylene (PP) has been choosing due to its special characteristic. For this study, PP/RR compound will undergo several testing which are mechanical and physical testing will be done by PP/RR compound. The result will be compared based on the different percentage of the PP and RR compound in its composition. There are for composition including the control sample. There are 100PP/0RR, 90PP/10RR, 70PP/30RR and 50PP/50 RR. The result of this study shows that the increasing of the rubber content, the value of the mechanical properties will be decrease and the elasticity of the compound will be increase.
