The unique  characteristics of TPEs make them very useful and  attractive alternatives for conventional elastomers  in a variety of markets, such as automotives,  buildings and constructions, wires and cables etc.  Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a special  class of TPEs, produced by simultaneously mixing and  crosslinking a rubber with a thermoplastic. TPVs  based on PP\/EPDM blends are the most important from  a commercial viewpoint. When a peroxide is added as  the crosslinking agent to a PP\/EPDM blend, two  competing processes take place simultaneously: EPDM  crosslinking and PP degradation by chain scission.  Therefore, there is a need for a proper peroxide in  combination with a suitable co-agent to diminish the  extent of PP degradation and improve the degree of  EPDM crosslinking. The author addressed the understanding of the behaviour of various peroxides including multifunctional peroxides on the performance properties of the TPVs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838334813\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePros and Cons of Peroxides as Crosslinking Agents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838334813","offer_id":39499064475741,"sku":"9783838334813","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/716394cf-d985-4e93-9a4e-3f9f3a96a390.jpg?v=1773385038","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/dynamically-vulcanized-pp-epdm-thermoplastic-elastomers-von-kinsuk-naskar","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
