(mentor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department Polymer Technology Date 1997-05 Abstract A Thermoplastic Vulcanisate (TPV) is a blend of a thermoplastic material and a vulcanised elastomer, in which the rubber is present as particles in a thermoplastic matrix. In this investigation a Polypropylene/EPDM TPV was studied. This material has fairly good elastic properties and can be processed as a thermoplastic material, which makes it cheaper than a vulcanised elastomer for many applications. However, the elastic properties are less than those of other elastomers. This investigation was done to gain a better understanding of the elastic properties of a TPV...
