It is common practice to blend polymers to obtain high-performance polymer materials for
new applications. Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), consisting of a high content of …

In this study, we propose a novel approach to toughening polypropylene (PP) by integrating
in-situ fibrillation technology with the silane crosslinking mechanism. Specifically, we graft …

Although the concept blending two or more polymers is not novel, the significance of this has
paved way for the invention of new high-performance materials which could make …

Polypropylene/elastomer/filler composites are one of the most commonly used materials for
spray-free automotive parts to meet the requirements of lightweight. However, its application …

Blends from the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) of Propylene/1-butene copolymers (PPB)
and Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) were successfully prepared by melt-mixed …

We studied the microstructure–rheology relationship of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene octene
copolymer (EOC) blends by means of rheology in combination with scanning electron …

As the most successful commercialized thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), polypropylene
(PP)/ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) TPVs exhibit poor oil resistance. In this work, we …

The macroscopic properties of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) are closely related to the
microscopic crystallization characteristics. It is significant to design and fabricate nucleating …

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) represent a special class of polymeric materials that
combine the melt processability of conventional thermoplastic polymers with the elastic …

Polypropylene (PP)–waste elastomer blends are particularly attractive as an economical
way of producing sustainable materials, relieving the stress on the environment. Although …
