Effect of Polyethylene Grafted Maleic Anhydride (PEgMAH) on Tensile Properties and Swelling Behavior of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)/ Natural Rubber (NR)/ Feldspar Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PEgMAH) as a compatibilizer on the tensile properties and swelling behavior of ethylene vinyl acetate /Natural Rubber/ Feldspar (EVA/NR/FP) composites were studied. The EVA/NR/FP composites with and without PEgMAH were prepared using Brabender Plasticoder at 160oC with 50rpm rotor speed. The results indicated that EVA/NR/FP/PEgMAH had higher value of tensile strength and M100 but lower elongation at break and percentage mass swell.
