Abstract
AbstractThe effect of different blend compositions of natural rubber (NR)/ethylene–propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) on the swelling behavior of that blend in motor oil under compression strain was investigated. The compression recovery of all blend ratios investigated had positive values at low applied compression values (3%). However, at high compression values (18 and 35%), the compression recovery had negative values. The lower weight uptake of motor oil was shown by the EPDM vulcanizate, whereas the 25/75 NR/EPDM blend showed the highest compression recovery. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
