30 Apr 1976TL;DR: In this article, a thermoplastic vulcanizates, comprising blends of olefin rubber and thermoplastics, are used to improve the tensile strength of the rubber.
Abstract: Thermoplastic vulcanizates, comprising blends of olefin rubber and thermoplastic olefin resin in which the rubber is completely cured, exhibit superior physical properties including improved tensile strength.
283 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between morphology and the mechanical properties of thermoplastic olefin (TPO) materials that are reinforced with organoclay fillers and prepared by melt processing is reported.
263 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the morphology and physical properties of thermoplastic olefin blend (TPO) based nanocomposites containing nanosilica are reported, and the addition of maleated PP resulted in improved filler dispersion within the PP matrix, where the filler resided exclusively.

10 Dec 1985TL;DR: In this article, soft, resilient thermoplastic compositions with good physical strength useful as molded parts including hoses, seals and gaskets which exhibit good flow and good surface characteristics in injection molded parts.
Abstract: Soft, resilient thermoplastic compositions with good physical strength useful as molded parts including hoses, seals and gaskets which exhibit good flow and good surface characteristics in injection molded parts. The compositions comprise ethylene copolymer resin (e.g., ethylene vinyl acetate), halogenated butyl rubber and polychloroprene wherein the rubbers have been dynamically vulcanized to a fully cured state in the presence of the ethylene copolymer resin.
