Advanced materialsGraphitic carbon from end-of-life tires
A development program for producing and evaluating carbon-based materials derived from end-of-life tires.
The challenge
Transform discarded tires into valuable feedstock and create materials with properties relevant to technical applications and circular production.
Approach
Design a valorization pathway, characterize the resulting material and assess performance in relation to application and scaling requirements.
Results and future directions
This development provides a technical foundation for evaluating carbon-based materials from end-of-life tires, their possible applications and future industrial transfer.
