Comprehensive Review of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber
Abstract: The terpolymer elastomer known as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is made up of ethylene and propylene with trace amounts of a non-conjugated diene as a third monomer. This elastomer was created using the idea of limited olefinic functionality, which is brought about by diene monomer incorporating unsaturation into the polymer backbone. This random elastomeric copolymer, which has a fully saturated polymer backbone, has intriguing qualities such as good heat …
