This poses two major problems: environmental pollution and wastage of valuable rubber. On the other hand, with the harm of vibration and noise widely recognized, desires to control them intensify. As an important means of vibration control, viscoelastic damping technology has advanced greatly. The need for cheap and high quality viscoelastic damping materials increases rapidly. This paper made a trial to use ground rubber tire (GRT) recovered from old tires to make damping materials. The GRT is treated specially first. Then it was pressed into slabs and vulcanized. Finally, the product was cut into test samples. An Oberst beam was used to determine the loss factor βand storage modulus E. Results show that the damping materials exhibit good damping α-bility.展开更多

Scanning e-lectron microscopy （SEM） results show that there are a lot of fibrous materials distributing in the interface, which connects the dispersed phase with the matrix and obtains better interfacial strength for prominent mechanical properties. The addition of compatibilizers results in the decrease of crystallinity of the blends and the disappearance of an obvious yield phenomenon, which was proved by the differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） test and X-ray diffraction （XRD） characterization Although the crystallinity of the blends decreases,the tensile strength and tensile strain of the blends significantly increases, especially for the HDPE/GTR/DCP/HY-2045 blends, which is possibly attributed to the good compatibility of the blends owing to the in-situ interface crosslinking. In addition, it is found that the compatibilizing HDPE/GTR blends shows a higher tan^ peak temperature and a broaden transition peak for GTR phase.展开更多
