Processing of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) by in-situ ground tire rubber (GTR) vulcanization using waste ethylene-vinyl-acetate (wEVA) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP)

Tire rubber waste (TRW) is a complex mixture of materials, such as rubbers, steel, textile fibers, carbon black, and other additives. Its polluting capacity is a severe environmental problem, especially in landfills and waste management processes. As a practical solution to mitigate TRW’s environmen...
