Abstract: In this research, low cost devulcanized recycled rubber based composites were designed with fine gamma alumina (d < 5–10 μm) reinforcements containing minor reinforcements such as nano graphene platelets and Carbon Nano Tubes. After determination (in different wt% percentages) of the reinforcements with matrix, a special process was applied to complete successfully the manufacturing of the composites. After that, the relevant toughening mechanisms for the most suitable reinforcements were analyzed in detail for aeronautical engineering appli...
