Preparation And Properties Of Rubber Seed Kernel Powder/Recycled Polystyrene Composites

Recycled polystyrene (RPS)/rubber seed kernel powder (RSKP) composites at O, l, 3, 5, and 10 wt% of RSKP were prepared in an internal mixer at 180°C with 60 rpm of rotor speed for 8 minutes. Processing torque, tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus and impact strength decreas...
