MORALES RIVERA, Daniel Alberto  e  ZULUAGA CORRALES, Héctor Fabio. Study of thermal and mechanical properties of foams made by polymer blends of ethylenevinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and natural rubber (NR). Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2006, n.37, pp.82-92. ISSN 0120-6230.

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.

Palavras-chave : polymer blends; crosslinked foams; thermal properties; mechanical properties.
