Abstract
Rubber is a useful material but used rubber has disposal problems and continues to accumulate all over the world. In particular, wiper blade rubber is high quality natural rubber. We investigated the use of recycled wiper blade rubber for vibration isolator and noise absorbing materials. Wiper blade rubbers were cut or crushed to small sizes and molded. Dynamic and static properties as well as the noise absorption coefficient of recycled materials were measured. We found which cut or crushed size is better for vibration isolator and noise absorbing materials. We developed a method of wiper blade rubber recycling.
