Foamed ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) was
compounded with azo dicarbonamide (ADC/K) as a foaming agent. The
mechanical properties, under compression and extension, were measured at
different temperatures. It was found that the increase of foaming agent
concentration affects markedly all the mechanical parameters. The increase in
the foaming agent concentration decreases monotonically the tensile strength,
σf
, and failure strain εf.
