Mechanical properties of alumina trihydrate filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene monomer composites for cable applications

Polymeric materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) are widely used as insulators for cable applications. We investigated the effect of alumina trihydrate (ATH) loading on the mechanical properties of PP/EPDM blend. Preliminary study showed t...
