Thermal insulation and mechanical properties of construction materials with nitrile rubber (NBR) waste for construction industry

Rubber waste is one of waste materials listed in the ‘First Schedule’ of scheduled waste list in Environmental Quality Regulation 2005 (Scheduled Waste). Scheduled wastes are normally associated with tight management and high cost of disposal. Conventionally, they are incinerated in combustion s...
