摘要：

Thermoplastic elastomer, which has important characteristics for cable insulation, was developed by melt blending of polypropylene (PP) with ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) at various blend ratios together with SiO2, TiO2 and ZnO nanofillers at fixed loading of 2 vol.-%. The influence of EPDM content and the presence of nanofillers in the blend on burning rate, hydrophobicity and dielectric breakdown strength were investigated. Burning rate of PP/EPDM/ZnO was significantly reduced, implying that there was an improvement in fire retardancy with the addition of ZnO nanofillers in the polymer blend. Both SiO2 and ZnO filled system showed an improvement in hydrophobicity. Furthermore, dielectric breakdown strength showed higher value in EPDM rich blends. In addition, the presence of nanofillers deteriorated the dielectric breakdown strength of PP/EPDM nanocomposites.
