This paper discusses process development, tensile properties, morphology, oil resistance, gel content, and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM)/ natural rubber (NR) vulcanized blends with the addition of N,Nm-phenylenebismaleimide (HVA-2) as a compatibilizer. Blends were prepared in several blend ratios in a Haake Polydrive with temperature and rotor speed of 180 C and 50 rpm, respectively. Results indicated that the combination of dicumyl peroxide (Dicup) with HVA-2 shows high torque development and stabilization torque as compared to the blend with Dicup vulcanization alone. In terms of tensile properties, the combination of Dicup with HVA-2 shows higher tensile strength, tensile modulus (M 100 ), elongation at break, oil resistance, and gel content in all blend ratios compared to similar vulcanized blends with Dicup without HVA-2 addition. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of the blends support that the cross-linking and compatibilization occur during the process of the vulcanized blend containing HVA-2. In the case of crystallinity of the blends, the addition of HVA-2 in Dicup vulcanized blend revealed a tendency for the percentage of crystallinity (Xc) to decrease. The addition of HVA-2 in Dicup vulcanization also produced blends with good thermal stability dealing with the so-called coagent bridge formation.
