Through a facile method in the process of milling/hot pressing of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber in solid state, the hybrid networks formed by covalent crosslinks, hydrogen bonds and Zn2+-carboxyl units were successfully designed and constructed in EPDM rubber system (EPDM-g-ZnGlu) b...
