摘要
The mechanism of tear fracture or rubber vulcanizates has been studied in detail by several research groups. The role of rubber particles in the mechanism of tear propagation in rubber modified thermoplastics and thermosets has also been reported. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been found to be a valuable tool in studying the fracture mechanism of rubber vulcanizates and rubber based composites. In this paper, studies of the effects of blend ratios and the influence of dynamic crosslinking of the elastomer phase on the tear strength of thermoplastic polypropylene (PP)-natural rubber (NR) blends are reported. The nature of tear fracture of these blends has been studied by using SEM.
