Resumo
Polymeric materials (plastics and rubber) have been contributing in a continuously and raising way for the generation of litter and industrial wastes discarded
in landfills. The implementation of new technologies for the reduction of polymeric materials, acceptable from the environmental viewpoint and at an effective
cost, proved to be a great problem, due to complexities inherent for the re-use, especially of rubbers. Gamma ionizing radiation has capacity for changing
structure and properties of polymeric materials and can be applied to almost all types of polymers; irradiation is an expectation for problem-solving of rubber
wastes management that can be utilized as raw-materials or chemical additives. The relatively low degree of unsaturation presented by butyl rubber (IIR) is
responsible for the great resistance of butyl rubber to oxygen, ozone and heat, as well as low gas and water vapor permeability. At the initial stage of irradiation, the
degradation of bromobutyl rubber occurs predominantly via random chain-scission and chain-crosslinking may occur caused from the isoprene copolymerized
units. This work aims to the introduction of a new recovery technique for bromobutyl rubber, by using processing via gamma rays followed by shear. Rubber was
irradiated at 0 kGy, 5 kGy, 15 kGy, 25 kGy, 50 kGy, 100 KGy, 150 kGy and 200 KGy doses, in order to study the feasibility of bromobutyl rubber for recycling.
25 kGy doses, applied to butyl rubber further sheared, pointed toward a less degraded material, indicating that this type of elastomer is able to be incorporated
to a new rubber compound and replacing some parts of pristine rubber in formulations without imparting great losses in physical-chemical properties.
