Thermal,electrical, and mechanical properties of addition-type liquid silicone rubber co-filled with Al2O3 particles and BN sheets

The addition-type liquid silicone rubber (ALSR) co-filled with spheroidal Al₂O₃ and flaky BN was prepared by the mechanical blending and hot press methods to enhance the thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties for industrial applications. Morphologies of ALSR composites were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the interaction and dispersion state of fillers in the ALSR matrix were improved by the introduction of BN sheets. Thermal, electrical, and mechanical performances of the ALSR composites were also investigated in this work. The result indicated that the thermal conductivity of ALSR can reach 0.64 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ at the loading of 20 wt% Al₂O₃/20 wt% BN, which is 3.76 times higher than that of pure ALSR. The addition of Al₂O₃ particles and BN sheets also improve the thermal stability of ALSR composites. Moreover, pure ALSR and ALSR composites showed relatively lower dielectric permittivity (1.9–3.1) and dielectric loss factor (<0.001) at the frequency of 10³ Hz. The insulation properties including volume resistivity and breakdown strength were improved by the introduction of flaky BN in the ALSR matrix. The volume resistivity and characteristic breakdown strength E₀ are 6.68 × 10¹⁵ Ω m and 93 kV/mm, respectively, at the loading of 20 wt% Al₂O₃/20 wt% BN. In addition, the mechanical characteristics including elongation at break and tensile strength of ALSR composites were also enhanced by co-filled fillers. The combination of these improved performances makes the co-filled ALSR composites attractive in the field of electrical and electronic applications.     

Tire rubber–sisal composites: Effect of mercerization and acetylation on reinforcement

Tire rubber particles were mixed randomly with short sisal fibers and hot pressed. Sisal fibers were used as received, mercerized, and mercerized/acetylated. The fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), water sorption, and mechanical properties. Thermal stability of the mercerized/acetylated fibers improves (from 200 to 300°C) with respect to the raw fibers, and water sorption is ～ 20% smaller than for the raw and the mercerized fibers. Tensile strength is unchanged after the chemical treatments. Water sorption, mechanical properties, and SEM evaluated the performance of the tire rubber composites. All composites showed enhanced elastic modulus; increase is dependent on fiber load. Smallest water sorption was obtained in composites with the mercerized/acetylated fibers. With these fibers at 10% load, the best results were obtained with the smaller tire rubber particles (320 μm) and at 5% load with the bigger (740 μm) tire rubber particles. Both composites showed ～ 50% increase in tensile strength when compared to similar composites with raw fibers. SEM of the surface of fracture showed that the adhesion between fiber and rubber was enhanced after both chemical treatments. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2507–2515, 2003

Enhancement in electrical and thermal performance of high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber composites for outdoor insulating applications

High-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber composites are highly desirable as outdoor insulating materials due to their immense thermal and electrical performance. The aim of this work is to study the role of co-combined fillers (modified fumed silica [MFS], titanium dioxide [TiO₂], with graphene [G]) on electrical and thermal properties of silicone rubber (S) composites. The dielectric response of S/MFS_10 phr and S/TiO₂_20 composites tailored with 2 phr G was characterized by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The hybrid filler/composites were found to show higher thermal stability when 2 phr G was added. In addition, a low quantity of G filler was found to slightly increase the AC dielectric breakdown strength of the S/MFS_10 and S/TiO₂_20, where an improvement of 3 and 5% was found, respectively. Several steps were observed in the thermal decomposition of the S rubber composites by thermogravimetric analysis-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Our findings revealed great potentials for fabricating hybrid-filler/silicone rubber composites with enhanced electrical and thermal properties for outdoor insulating applications.

The optimum value of tensile strength and tear strength of cassava starch/NR composites were achieved at a 10 phr cassava starch loading.
