  The following paper presents an overview of methods for improving the storage stability at high temperature of rubber modified bitumen. The storage stability of the rubber modified bitumen can be improved by using a various types of modifiers that form the bonds between the components of these binders. The increase in stability can also be achieved by using crumbrubber surface-activated by furaldehyde or ground tire rubber (GTR)...

  - JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION - Year 2017

  The paper is transdisciplinary. The complex overview on changes in policy and approach to waste tyres that leads to both solving environmental problem of post consumer tyres and creating environmentally friendlier novel materials are presented. It is shown that in the world, the amount of polymer wastes increases every year. Most of them are in the form of post-consumer tyres. Recycling and recovery of such tyres is a serious environmental...

  - CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS - Year 2017

  Rubber products, especially those used in the automotive industry, are responsible for a significant amount of waste, mainly in the form of worn tyres. One way to recycle tyres is to use them as an asphalt binder modifier. The properties of rubber-asphalt binders vary greatly depending on the morphology of the ground tyre rubber (GTR) grains and the type of tyre to be recycled (car/truck). The paper presents the results of research...

  - Year 2017

  In the paper wastes, mostly in the form of used tires, were analyzed. One of the methods of waste tires application use them as a modifier of asphalt. However, the properties of rubber-asphalt composites depend on the morphology of waste tiregranulate and kind of tire recycled (car/truck). In this chapter, the influence of grinding methods of waste tire on the prop¬erties of rubber-asphalt composites were studied. SEM analysis...
