Analysis of Cement-Based Pastes Mixed with Waste Tire Rubber

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Using the methods of thermal gravimetry, differential thermal analysis, Furier transform infrared analysis, and capillary absorption, the properties of a cement composite produced by introducing waste tyre rubber into a cement mixture were investigated. It was found that the composite filled with the rubber had a much lower water absorption ability than the unfilled one.
