Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber is for major used in engineering and many technical works and its application like automobile, constructions, electronic industries, and electric and many more. Industries commonly EPDM use for making the rubber inlet/outlet hoses for car and other vehicle. EPDM rubber properties are like good weather resistance ability as well as heat ozone. The resistance of steam is outstanding. EPDM rubber commonly is used for seals in automobile area. In the present review paper, different hardness of EPDM has been discussed on the basis of mixing or adding different proportion of graphene and carbon black (CB) and other additives. Also discussed how improve the performance of EPDM using silica and graphene and titanium dioxide and other additives and synergistic effect of graphite nanotubes on EPDM nanotubes. Effect of graphene on non-polar and polar rubber matrix also discussed with mechanical behaviour of EPDM.
