polymer blends, crosslinked foams, thermal properties, mechanical propertiesAbstract
Some properties of polymeric foams made from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and natural rubber (NR) were studied. These properties included: thermal behavior (by DSC and TGA), strength resistance, compression set and gel content. Structure – property relationships as a function of the degree of crosslinking and foaming were determined for the different blends, making use of results of previous studies on polyolefinic foams with similar densities.
