Abstract
The effect of gamma radiation on the physico-mechanical properties of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber/styrene butadiene rubber/waste high density polyethylene blend EPDM/SBR/wHDPE (50/50/30) blend reinforced with different types of fillers 10 phr (part per 100 part of rubber, by weight) of HAF-carbon black, Hisil, and prepared modified organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) clay was investigated. The results obtained showed that the organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) clay is the most effective filler for enhancing the physico-mechanical properties of EPDM/SBR/wHDPE vulcanized composites. Scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis characteristics were also, studied.
