Effects of N‐(4‐Hydroxyphenyl)Maleimide Grafting and Rubber Epoxidation on the Morphology, Viscoelasticity, and Performance of Natural Rubber/Polypropylene Thermoplastic Vulcanizates

ABSTRACT Four thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) with a 50/50 rubber/polypropylene (PP) weight ratio—natural rubber (NR)/PP, epoxidized natural rubber containing 25 mol% epoxide (ENR‐25)/PP, N‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)maleimide‐grafted NR (NR‐ g ‐HPM)/PP, and HPM‐grafted ENR‐25 (ENR‐25‐ g...
