Resumen
As the number of waste tires or what so-called end of life tires in the world are growing, it is important to find a better way to recycle them. In this work, ground tire rubber from car (GTRc) was used. This GTRc have been undergo microwave treatment at different duration to devulcanize it. Sample of natural rubber with GTRc/dGTRc was prepared. It appears that the devulcanization time does not affect the tensile strength and elongation at break. For crosslink density, samples containing devulcanized GTRc have higher crosslink density compared with sample containing GTRc without microwave treatment
