Thermal stability of ethylene-vinyl acetate and ethylene-propylene-diene (EVA-EPDM) blends
The thermal behavior of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and ethylene propylene-diene (EPDM) blends have been studied by thermogravimetry in nitrogen. The activation energy, preexponential factor, and lifetime have been calculated using software-based on the Flynn and Wall isoconversional procedure. The maximum thermal stability in nitrogen atmosphere was observed for the EV80-EP20 blend.
