Strain induced crystallization (SIC) of peroxide vulcanized natural rubber (NR)/ground tire (GTR) composites is studied by combining mechanical and microstructural characterization techniques. It found that the incorporation GTR into NR matrix leads to more effective reinforcement at large strains room temperature in NR/GTR as compared neat NR. attributed (i) presence particles acting reinforci...
