Introduction

• worldwide increasing use of car as the main of transport.

• Massive stockpiles.• Negative environmental

impact. • RMA reported in 2013.• (50%) waste tires used as

fuel energy.

Porous material Perforated panels absorber Waste tire rubber material

What is Blowing Agent?

Chemical substance to create foam.

It is called ‘baking powder’ this materials

Sound absorption mechanisms5Internal Rubber Molecular Chains Processes

Damping losses

Viscous-friction losses

Objectives

The aims of this work to:

develop a new sound absorbing material and evaluate the physic- mechanical properties of SBR/RR foam as well.
