Thermoplastic vulcanizates derived from modified natural rubbers and polypropylene
A thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) with improved mechanical properties and recyclability was developed from modified natural rubber (NR) and polypropylene (PP). The modified NRs were prepared through two modification steps, i.e., epoxidation (E) and followed by hydrogenation (H). In addition, two lev...
