Inside the Lab: Testing Decrosslinked Rubber from Gradient Compounds | My Rubber Heart

Can decrosslinked rubber actually be reused like a conventional compound? In this lab episode of My Rubber Heart, I take two decrosslinked materials—sulfur-cured butyl rubber and peroxide-cured AEM rubber—and put them to the test. You’ll see how each material is: 🔹 Remixed on the roll mill 🔹 Re-formulated with fresh curing agents 🔹 Evaluated using MDR rheometry 🔹 Tested for tensile strength and elongation This is the follow-up to my interview with David Brown, CEO of Gradient Compounds Netherlands, where we explored their inline decrosslinking technology for rubber recycling. Now we take that technology into the lab to see how it performs in practice. 💬 What you’ll learn: – Can reclaimed rubber match virgin compound properties? – How do sulfur-cured and peroxide-cured systems compare? – What happens to processability after decrosslinking? – What role does reformulation play in rubber recovery? 📺 Watch the Gradient Compounds interview here: https://lnkd.in/euGrRHW4 Perfect for: Engineering students Materials scientists Industry professionals Chemistry enthusiasts Anyone curious about how everyday materials work NEVER MISS AN EPISODE: Hit SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications! @MyRubberHeart ENGAGE WITH US: Comment below with your questions about rubber modification Share your experiences with modified rubber materials Suggest topics for future episodes ❤️ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Share this video with fellow science enthusiasts Check out our videos from season 1 #RubberScience #MaterialsEngineering #ChemicalModification #ScienceEducation #Engineering #Chemistry #RubberTechnology #MaterialScience #myrubberheart #IndustryInnovation #STEM #sustainability
