Paper sludge, one of cellulosic materials, is a by product during paper manufacture. Polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) hybrid composites were made using kaolin and paper sludge (PS) filler as reinforcing agents in the PP/EPDM matrix. Both fillers were used at a similar...
