Abstract:
Rubber ferrite composites were prepared by incorporating nickel ferrite in a neoprene
rubber matrix. Kinetics of the cure reaction were determined from the rheometric torque
values and found to follow first-order kinetics. Analysis of the swelling behavior of
the rubber ferrite composites in toluene elucidates the mechanism of solvent penetration
and sorption characteristics, and reveals the extent of the physical interaction of
the ferrite particles with the neoprene rubber matrix. Mechanical properties of rubber
ferrite composites were determined, which support the reinforcing nature of nickel ferrite
to the neoprene rubber matrix. These results show that magnetic composites with
the required processing safety can be prepared economically by incorporating higher
amounts of nickel ferrite in the neoprene rubber matrix
