The vulcanization process is a cornerstone of rubber engineering, involving the cross-linking of polymer chains to enhance elasticity, durability and resistance to chemical degradation. Recent ...
Most commercial TPVs are based on blends of EPDM rubber as the dispersed cross-linked rubber and PP as the thermoplastic matrix. PP is one of the most widely used polymers; it has excellent stiffness ...
Rubber is a natural substance deriving from trees, but to get it into its useful form, treatment in the form of a process called vulcanization must occur. Vulcanization cures rubber via the method of ...
