Physico-mechanical properties polypropylene/ethylene-propylene diene monomer (PP/EPDM) binary blends

The aim of this study was to develop radiation sterilized polypropylene/ethylene-propylene diene monomer (PP/EPDM) binary blends using melt blending and the mechanical properties of the blends were studied. The PP/EPDM binary blends were prepared in the ratios of 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60 and 20:80...
