Abstract
To improve the mechanical properties of natural rubber - polypropylenes (NR-PP) blends, phenol-formaldhehyd (PF) résol dispersed in NR latex were used as an additive to increase the compatibility. The result proves that the method of adding PF into NR latex to improve R-PP blends mechanical properties but not prominently. Comparing the effect of PF with other additives demonstrates that the peroxides (DCP) has the best effect on increasing the mechanical properties of NR-PP blends.
