Dependence of the Properties of Polypropylene/Ethylene–propylene Rubber Blends on the Composition of the Composite and the Characteristics of the Polymers

Abstract

Empirical models reflecting the dependence of the elastic strength properties of PP/EPR blends on the characteristics of the initial polymers are obtained. The characteristics of the initial polymers that ensure synergism of the elastic strength properties are determined.
