Enhanced tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of thermoplastic natural rubber nanocomposites

The melt compounding technique was employed to prepare thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) nanocomposites. The maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MA-PE) as a coupling agent was used to improve the filler-matrix interfacial adhesion. TPNR were prepared in the ratio of (70:20:10) from linear low-...
