Effect of Various Nano Particle Type on Morphology of Vulcanized EPDM Foam

In this study effect of various nano-particle type and concentration on the morphology, curing, viscosity variation during vulcanization, and mechanical characteristics of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber foam is reported. This study is aimed to investigate foam structure and properties for advanced engineering applications. It is observed that the properties of the foams were efficiently influenced with the nano-particle shapes and content in the matrix.
