Studies of Mechanical, Dynamic Mechanical, Thermal, and Morphological Properties of Pistachio Shell Reinforced EPDM Biocomposites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Pistachio shell powder (PSP)‐reinforced EPDM biocomposites with enhanced properties. ABSTRACT In the present study, a biocomposite based on ethylene propylene diene elastomer (EPDM) and pistachio shell powder (PSP) is prepared. EPDM is reinforced with PSP in various amounts (0–50 wt%). The obtained biocomposites are investigated in terms of mechanical,
