Abstract
The aim of the investigation was the dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis (DMTA) study of the polyurethane-rubber composites obtained from used polymer products. Polyols obtained in the glycolysis process from used semi-rigid polyurethane foams, hardened by diphenylmethane 4,4′-diisocyanate (MDI) and rubber granules obtained from mechanical granulation of used car tyres were used to receive polyurethane-rubber composites. On the basis of the DMTA spectra the glass transition temperature Tg was determined. The analysis of loss module E′′ allowed us to observe two relaxation processes for polyurethane-waste rubber composites α – originating from the rubber and α′ – from the polyurethane glue. The dependence of the changes of activation energy of relaxation processes with the change of weight ratio of polyurethane glue in polyurethane-waste rubber composites was observed.
