Fabrication and Characterization of Thermoplastic Elastomer from EPDM/Polypropylene Blend Filled with Waste Tire Rubber Powder as Impact Absorber for Vehicle Doors
The increasing number of motor vehicles in Indonesia has led to a growing amount of waste tires, posing environmental concerns. This study investigated the use of waste tire rubber powder as a filler in EPDM/polypropylene-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) using PP-g-MA as a compatibilizer. The blends were vulcanized...
