Nowadays, waste tire rubber (WTR) management is a growing and serious problem. Therefore, research works focused on the development of cost-effective and environmentally-friendly methods of WTR recycling are fully justified. Incorporation of WTR into polymer matrices and composite materials attracts much attention, because this approach allows sustainable development of industrially applicable waste tires recycling technologies. Generally, utilization of WTR as a filler for polymer composites noticeably reduces materials costs, while suitable modification/functionalization of WTR may significantly enhance the performance of plastics and rubbers. This work aims to summarize the literature reports related to the thermoset/WTR composites based on various matrices such as: polyurethanes, epoxy and other resins. It particularly focuses on compatibilization strategies in thermosets/WTR systems and their impact on the chemistry and physical interfacial interactions between thermoset matrix and WTR filler phase, what significantly affecting performance properties of prepared materials. Moreover, future trends and limitation related to thermoset/WTR composites development are discussed.
如今，废轮胎橡胶（WTR）管理是一个日益严重的问题。因此，研究工作集中在开发经济高效和环保的 WTR 回收方法上是完全合理的。将 WTR 掺入聚合物基体和复合材料中引起了广泛关注，因为这种方法允许可持续发展工业应用的废轮胎回收技术。一般来说，将 WTR 用作聚合物复合材料的填料可显著降低材料成本，而对 WTR 进行适当的改性/功能化可能会显著提高塑料和橡胶的性能。这项工作旨在总结与基于各种基体（如：聚氨酯、环氧树脂和其他树脂）的热固性/WTR 复合材料相关的文献报告。它特别关注热固性/WTR 体系中的增容策略及其对热固性基体和 WTR 填料相之间化学和物理界面相互作用的影响，这显著影响了所制备材料的性能。此外，还讨论了与热固性/WTR 复合材料发展相关的未来趋势和局限性。
