Aging resistance of modified bi-elastomeric montmorillonite-filled ethylene-propylene copolymer/natural rubber systems
Ethylene-propylene copolymer was functionalized with 2-isopropenyl-2-ozazoline by radical cross-linking with (PhCMe(2)O)(2) and used to prep. bi-elastomeric blends with natural rubber. Layered montmorillonite was used as a filler. The modification resulted in an increase of tensile strength of the natural rubber vulcanizates.
