A Comparative Study on Vehicular Tyre Rubber and Aircraft Tyre Rubber, A Review Based on SEM, EDS and XRD Analysis

In recent years the wastage of rubber waste material is tremendously increased because of the high usage of rubberized materials. It is understood that rubber materials are user-friendly but not eco-friendly because of its nondegradable nature. Often waste rubber from the tyre is being disposed of through land filling or by incineration process which is causing a serious threat to the environment. Hence, it is necessary to utilize the waste rubber from the tyre with suitable technical manner. A number of research works are being carried out to reuse the vehicular tyre rubber waste. In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the characteristic properties of Vehicular and Aircraft tyre rubber waste through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS / EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. It is found that the aircraft rubber waste contains less percentage of siliceous more material than normal vehicular tyre rubber waste.
