PolyInsight and Santoprene Specialty Products publish results from a collaborative research project
The results of a collaborative research project on thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) involving scientists at PolyInsight and Santoprene Specialty Products has been recently published in the journal Rubber Chemistry and Technology. In this work, AFM imaging was used to accurately measure the oil distribution between the incompatible polymer phases which comprised an iPP/EPDM-based TPV.
