The growing environmental concerns associated with waste tire disposal and the need for sustainable rubber recycling methods have prompted researchers to explore efficient and eco-friendly devulcanization techniques. Microwave devulcanization has emerged as a promising method, enabling rapid and energy-efficient rubber recycling. This thesis investigates the potential of palm oil as a devulcanization agent for chemical-microwave devulcanization. The study focuses on the utilization of palm oil, a readily available and renewable resource, as a devulcanizing agent in the microwave-assisted devulcanization process.
