✦ Synopsis

The main goal of this study is to further understanding of the role of rubber particles on deformation mechanisms in PP/EPR blend. For doing this standard tensile specimens were produced using injection molding. The results of microscopic evaluation of tensile specimen after some stretching show that damage forms in some points and then propagates in different directions. Also some elongated voids are observed, those are probably formed due to cavitation of rubber particles or debonding at the interface. With regard to achieved micrographs one may conclude that the deformation mechanism in PP/EPR blend can be massive dilatational shear banding due to repeated cavitation.

A theory is advanced to explain the effects of rubber particle cavitation upon the deformation and fracture of rubber-modified plastics. The criteria for cavitation in triaxially-stressed particles are first analysed using an energy-balance approach. It is shown that the volume strain in a rubber pa

## Abstract The melting and crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene/natural rubber (PP/NR) based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. The samples were scanned at a heating rate of 10Β°C/min under nitrogen atmosphere. The effects of bl
