"As a major portion of typical concrete is coarse aggregate, replacing all of this with used tire rubber can significantly reduce the consumption of natural resources and also address the major ...

One way to help reduce the cost of making concrete is to replace the aggregate with other materials, including used rubber tires that have been ground up into small particles. The idea kills two ...

With a notoriously large carbon footprint, concrete is a prime target for researchers developing greener materials for the future of construction. A number of studies have shown how old rubber ...

University in Australia have developed a new method for creating concrete comprised entirely of recycled rubber from discarded tires. The rubber replaces the conventionally used concrete ...

Scientists optimize a process to turn rubber from discarded tires into soluble graphene for composite materials, including cement in more environmentally friendly concrete. This could be where the ...

Chemist James Tour, who worked on the research, explains why there is a need for waste from rubber tires to be recycled for exactly this purpose. "Concrete is the most-produced material in the world, ...

A team of chemists has discovered an innovative way to break down and dissolve the rubber used in automobile tires, a process ... some are used as fuel in the cement industry or broken down ...
