Effect of Filler Loading and Isophthalic Acid-Maleic Anhydride (IAMA) on Properties of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate/Natural Rubber/Potash Feldspar (EVA/NR/PF) Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The EVA/NR/PF composites with and without IAMA were prepared using Brabender Plasticoder at 160oC with 50rpm rotor speed. The effects of potash feldspar loading and isophathalic acid-maleic anhydride (IAMA) on the tensile properties and morphology analysis of EVA/NR/PF composites were studied. The results indicated that tensile strength for EVA/NR/PF and EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites decreased but M100 increased as the filler loading increased. EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites showed higher value of tensile strength and M100.
