Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) were prepared via dynamic vulcanization. The mechanical properties and strengthening effect of Mullins effect under compression mode were investigated systematically. Experimental results indicated that the compression strength of TPVs was enhanced greatly compared with that of EPDM vulcanizate. Mullins effect could be observed obviously in the compression stress–strain curves of the TPVs while it was hardly to obverse in that of EPDM vulcanizate during the uniaxial loading–unloading cycles. The maximum compression stress and internal friction loss at specific strain were decreased after the first loading–unloading while only decreased slightly at the later loading–unloading cycles; however, the residual deformation increased with the increasing of the cycle times of compression. Mullins effect could be significantly enhanced with increasing compression strain and HDPE content in TPV.

Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a specific group of the so called thermoplastic elastomers. The main characteristic is the existence of a crosslinked rubber phase obtained by dynamic vulcanization in the presence of the thermoplastic matrix. This article studies TPVs based on ground tyre rubber (GTR), high-density polyethylene, and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber. Vulcanization is performed by a new peroxide developed to resist high temperatures and an standard one. The aim of this study is optimize the formulation in order to include GTR, while maintaining a good balance of properties in the final TPV material. The use of GTR would improve the possibilities of recovering tyre waste. A detailed study regarding the influence of each component in the final mechanical properties has been carried out. The swelling properties, ATR infrared spectroscopy, TGA, and DSC analysis indicated a high degree of crosslink and good adhesion between the matrix and the rubber phase. Morphology of the composites was assessed by scanning electron microscopy. A composite containing a combination of peroxides and 40/30/30 of HDPE, EPDM, and GTR was found to show a good balance of characteristics regarding mechanical properties, crosslinking, and adhesion between phases.
