Sulfate resistance increases with increasing rubber particle replacement percentage.
Compressive strength of the concrete decreased with increased rubber content.
After RTFO aging, the viscosity decreases with increasing rubber concentration.
The tensile modulus and the yield stress decrease linearly with increasing rubber content.
Cavitation experiments revealed that the macroscopic cavitation strain remained constant with increasing rubber content.
The sensitivity of the fracture behaviour to strain rate and temperature decreases with increasing rubber content.
The temperature development during fracture was also strongly reduced with increasing rubber concentration.
The ductile-to-brittle temperature was found to decrease with increased rubber content and decreased rubber particle size.
High ultrasonic attenuation was observed around 240 K and the intensity of attenuation increased with increasing rubber content.
However, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the PP composites decrease with increasing rubber contents.
