The polypropylene/(recycled natural rubber gloves)/(halloysite nanotubes) (PP/rNRg/HNTs) composites were prepared by using an internal mixer. The effect of HNTs loading on processibility, tensile properties, thermal stability, and morphology of PP/rNRg/HNTs composites were investigated. The stabiliz...
