It is a generally accepted result that the inclusion of rubber particles causes the concrete to degrade physical properties of the concrete. In this study the crumb rubber was partially oxidized and used as additives of mortars. Dramatically, the compressive strength of the rubberized mortars (with 6 wt.%) was greater than that of mortars without the crumb rubber. To understand these phenomena, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to explore the functional groups on surfaces of the crumb rubber, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to observe microstructures of mortars. With the partial oxidation treatment, rubber surfaces produced hydrophilic functional groups as indicated by IR spectra and the hydration of the cement near the crumb rubber was enhanced as shown by SEM, leading to stronger mortars.
