Wood Sawdust as a Low‐Cost Filler in Whole‐Tire Reclaimed Rubber: Mechanical Characterization and Factory‐Scale Cost Analysis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐tire reclaimed rubber is upgraded with wood sawdust, a carpentry by‐product available at no cost, across loadings from 0 to 20 wt%. At 5 wt%, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, viscosity, and water absorption all stay within commercial specification, and real factory data show an annual production saving near $62,000 with no capital ...
