Colorimetry of Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber/Mica/Polyolefin Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper examined the effect of addition of four polyolefins and mica on colorimetry of ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) composites. The results illustrate that the addition of mica can turn EPDM control from lighter, redder, and yellower to darker, greener and bluer, respectively. The total color change (ΔE) of EPDM/mica composites changed with various types of polyolefins. Ethylene alpha olefin (POE) with lowest crystallinity decrease the Δa of EPDM/mica composites to the greatest extent, while EPDM/mica/Polypropylene (PP) composite, with highest crystallinity of PP, has little change of the lightness value.
