This research is to investigate the effect of mixing ratio on the properties of polypropylene (PP) incorporated with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). The blends of PP/ENR were prepared by melt compounding using an internal mixer and vulcanized through sulfur curing. Mechanical testing such as tensil...
