Using recycled rubber in high-performance applications faces several key limitations. Firstly, the mechanical properties of recycled rubber are generally lower than those of virgin rubber. The recycling process, especially mechanical grinding, can cause chain scission and degradation of the rubber, reducing its tensile strength, elasticity, and tear resistance. Secondly, recycled rubber often contains impurities and contaminants that can negatively affect its performance. These impurities may include fillers, additives, and ot....
