Thermal and mechanical characterization of polypropylene/basalt fiber/ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber hybrid composite

The current study aims in enhancing the impact properties of polypropylene/basalt fiber composite reinforced with different wt% of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomer to identify the optimum wt% of EPDM at which a balance in strength and toughness can be obtained. According to a dynami...
