Abstract
Scrap rubber/epoxy-based composites reinforced with different fibers and particles were developed and tested with potential applications in transportation industry. Two separate formulations were manufactured using the powder metallurgy technique. The mechanical and tribological properties of all the composites were evaluated. Quasi-static and dynamic compression tests and macroindentation tests were performed and wear response was evaluated using the scratch function of a nanoindenter. Microstructures of all the composites were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composites were also exposed to ultraviolet radiation to evaluate their degradation. In general, improvement in all the properties tested were observed for the manufactured composites.
