Effects of filler (carbon black N110, silica and calcium carbonate) on the mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) / linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blends have been investigated. The blends were prepared by melt blending in a Haake 6 Rheomix at 140�C, 15 min mixing time and a rotor spe...
