Abstract

The mechanical and dynamic mechanicalproperties of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) grafted ethylene propylene diene terpolymer/linear low density polyethylene (EPDM-g-VTES/LLDPE) blends have been evaluated with special reference to the effect of blend ratio. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, Young's modulus and hardness increase with increase in LLDPE content in the blends and with increasing concentration of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), whereas the elongation at break decreases. Increasing the amount of LLDPE in the blends increases the storage and loss moduli because of the improvement in crystallinity.
