Using independently designed single screw extruder
ground tire rubber (GTR) powder was devulcanized continuously to prepare devulcanized ground tire rubber (DGTR). The DGTR was further revulcanized to prepare revulcanized DGTR samples. The gel fractions of the DGTR and the crosslink densities of the revulcanized DGTR samples decreased and the tensile strengths and elogations at break of the revulcanized DGTR samples increased gradually with increasing screw speed. The best devulcanization effectiveness was achieved under 40 r·min-1 screw speed and 205℃ devulcanization temperature. The revulcanized DGTR sample prepared under this condition exhibited tensile strength and elogation at break of about 11 MPa and 386% respectively. Inferring from the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses
parts of S—S and C—S bonds in the GTR powder were broken under both shearing and heating in the independently designed single screw extruder.
