Characterization of Metallocene Epdm Terpolymers with High Diene and Propylene Content Crosslinked by Dicumyl Peroxide and β‐Radiation

Abstract: Summary: Two metallocene EPDMs with the same weight fraction of ethylene but differing in diene content were crosslinked, either by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) or β‐radiation. The effect of different diene and propylene content on the molecular structure and the mechanical properties once the materials were crosslinked was studied. The final gel content was very high due to the large level of unsaturations. The crosslinking process was monitored by FTIR spectroscopy by following the decay of unsaturations and the v… Show more

“…Both materials have the same PE/PP ratio, but the diene content of SC matrix is 5.2 times larger than the one of the P matrix. This difference confirms the major role of the diene in the cross-linking process [30,31]. This is consistent with a lower M c in SC-X-CR than in A-X-CR: since, during thermal crosslinking, more ENB units are consumed in SC-X-CR than in A-X-CR (cf.…”
