Tensile Properties of Recycled Polypropylene (rPP)/Chloroprene Rubber (CR) Blends: Effect of CR Content

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymer blending is one of the methods used to improve some insufficient properties of conventional polymers. The objective of this work was to study the effectiveness of CR content on the tensile properties and morphology study of recycled polypropylene (rPP)/ chloroprene rubber (CR) blends. The results indicated that the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of rPP/CR blends decreased, however elongation at break increased as increasing CR content. The morphology study of rPP/CR blends showed the incompatibility between rPP and CR with the detachment of CR particles and CR particles pulled out from rPP surface.
