(54) Title: PROCESS FOR REGENERATING A MONOLITHIC, MACRO-STRUCTURAL, INTER-PENETRATING ELAS- TOMER NETWORK MORPHOLOGY FROM GROUND TIRE RUBBER PARTICLES ELEMENT ONE An electro-mechanical reactor environment (EMRE) which provides an effective \"Phase Space\" environment to: 1) unpack the GTRP, re-set the vulcanization pre-cursor for 2) subsequent sulfidic bridge realignment, 3) with minimal alteration to the native, elastomer-filler matrix. (57) : Crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires is subjected to an interlinked substitution process. The process utilizes a reactive component that interferes with sulfur bonds. The resulting treated rub- ber exhibits properties similar to those of the virgin composite rubber structure prior to being granulated, and is suitable for use in fabricat- ing new tires, engineered rubber articles, and asphalt rubber for use in waterproofmg and paving applications.
