Abstract

EVA/NR/PF composites with and without IAMA were prepared using Brabender Plasticoder at 160ºC with 50 rpm rotor speed. The effects of potash feldspar loading and isophthalic acid-maleic anhydride (IAMA) on the tensile properties and morphology of EVA/NR/PF composites were studied. The results indicated that the tensile strength for EVA/NR/PF and EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites decreased, but the M100 increased as the filler loading increased. EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites showed higher value of tensile strength and M100.
