and radiation-vulcanized EPDM rubber has been characterized by Kraus equation
IR and crosslinking density. Kraus curve shows that there was interaction between the filler and EPDM rubber. IR results exhibit that the interactions between the filler and EPDM rubber are chemical adsorption
which is difficult to be destroyed in tetrahydrofuran. The crosslinking density obtained by swelling to balance indicates that there is physical and chemical adsorptions
and the interaction may be mainly composed of physical adsorption.
