Sodium Hydroxide Treatment of Waste Rubber Crumb and Its Effects on Properties of Unsaturated Polyester Composites

This study investigated the optimum NaOH concentration treatment for rubber crumbs that improves adhesion between the polymer matrix and rubber filler in rubber polyester composites. The composite was prepared by mixing rubber crumbs from waste rubber gloves with unsaturated polyester matrix. Rubber...
