Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The electrical conductivity of silicone rubber vulcanizates containing carbon
blacks [e.g., acetylene black, lamp black, and ISAF (N-234) black] were investigated.
The change in electrical conductivity with varying amounts of carbon blacks and the
temperature dependence was measured. The mechanical properties like tensile
strength, tear strength, elongation at break, hardness, etc., of the vulcanizates were
determined. A comparative study of the electrical conductivity of the composites revealed
that the electrical conductivity of the composites made with acetylene black was
higher than that of the composites made of other blacks.
