N2  - In the present study, The rubber phase of the natural rubber (NR)/polypropylene (pp) blend were dynamically vulcanized during Electron Induced Reactive Processing (EIReP). A dramatic change in mechanical properties was observed after absorption of dose in the range from 100 to 350 kGy. In addition, we investigated the influence of polyfunctional monomers and molecular weight of the thermoplastic component on the morphology and mechanical properties. The prepare thermoplastic vulcanizate showed a continuous thermoplastic matrix containing well dispersed vulcanized rubber domains. Our results suggests that EIReP is a novel method which can offer additional features over conventional vulcanizing agents without compromising the end user properties
