Abstract:
Composite magnetic materials have the unique advantage of property modification for tailoring devices for various
applications. Rubber ferrite composites (RFCs) prepared by incorporating ferrites in rubber matrixes have the advantage of easy
mouldability and flexibility. RFCs containing various loadings of nickel zinc ferrite (NZF) (Ni1 xZnxFe2O4) in a natural rubber
matrix have been prepared. The cure characteristics and the mechanical properties of these composites were evaluated. The
effect of loading on the cure characteristics and tensile properties were also evaluated. It is found that the loading dependence on
the cure time and mechanical properties exhibit an identical pattern.
