Research progress in dynamically vulcanized natural rubber/polypropylene thermoplastic elastomer

Abstract

The research status of natural rubber (NR)/polypropylene (PP) dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomers (TPV) at home and abroad was systematically reviewed with 57 references, the research and development bottleneck of NR/PP TPV product was summarized, and the future research direction of NR/PP TPV was prospected.
