Composites of thermoplastic elastomer blend of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) reinforced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was investigated. All the composites were prepared by using Z-blade mixer at 180oC and rotor speed 50 rpm. The effect of filler loading of calcium...
