Characterization and properties of polypropylene/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/palm kernel shell composites

Thermoplastic elastomer composites was developed by using polypropylene (PP) / recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBRr) filled by palm kernel shell (PKS). All test samples were prepared by using heated two roll mill machine at temperature of 180 °C at a speed of 15 rpm with the total mixing ti...
