Abstract:A chlorinated polyethylene rubber (CPE)/ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) (weight ratio = 70/30) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) was prepared by dynamic vulcanization, with the TPV being reinforced by various amounts of zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA). The effects of ZDMA content on the mechanical and morphological properties of the TPVs were investigated. Experimental results indicated that dynamically vulcanized CPE/EVA blends without ZDMA showed an elastomeric behavior when the CPE/EVA weight ratio ranged f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
