The effects of conductive polypyrrole (PPy) as a coupling agent on the mechanical properties, morphology, electrical properties, and thermal degradation of (low‐density polyethylene)/(tire dust) (LDPE/TD) composites were studied. LDPE/TD composites with different TD loadings and added PPy were prepared with a Brabender Plasticorder. The LDPE/TD T (treated with PPy) composites showed higher values of tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and swelling resistance than LDPE/TD composites. Scanning electron microscopy morphology revealed that the interfacial adhesion between the TD and LDPE phases was improved by the addition of conductive PPy. J. VINYL ADDIT.
