Compressive stress-strain properties of unfilled and conductive carbon black (VulcanXC 72) filled oil extended EPDM (keltan 7341A) microcellular vulcanizates were studied as a function of blowing agent (density) and filler loading. With decrease in density, the compressive stress-strain curves for microcellular vulcanizates behaved differently from those of solid vulcanizates. The compressive stress-strain properties were found to be strain rate dependent. The log-log plots of relative density of the microcellular vulcanizates showed a fairly linear correlation with the relative modulus. The compression set at a constant stress increased with decrease in density. The efficiency of energy absorption E, was also studied as a function of filler and blowing agent loading. From the compressive stress-strain plots the efficiency E and the ideality parameter I, were evaluated. These parameters were plotted against stress to obtain maximum efficiency and the maximum ideality region, which will make these materials suitable for cushioning and packaging applications in electronic devices.

The electromagnetic inference is an issue from decades, where working for a better shielding material is still on-going. The purpose of this study is to review the existing methods in the formation of graphene, metal and polymer-based composites. Study indicates that in graphene and metal-based composites, the utilization of alternating deposition method showed the highest shielding effectiveness, whereas, in polymer-based composite, the utilization of chemical vapor deposition method showed highest shielding effectiveness. However, this review reveals that still there is a gap in the literature in terms of the selection of the method. Although there are various available methods which researchers adopt as per their convenience, none of the studies makes a comparison of the methods to form a similar composite. Therefore, as a future gap researcher needs to adopt various methods to form a single composite and then make a comparison of shielding effectiveness. This act will be useful for future researchers to select the appropriate method.

Herein, a series of novel disulfide polymers were synthesized by using the raw materials of diallyl-o-phthalate, tung oil, peanut oil, and styrene. Four kinds of products: Poly (sulfur-diallyl-o-phthalate) copolymer, poly (sulfur-tung oil) copolymer, poly (sulfur-peanut oil) copolymer, and poly (sulfur-styrene-peanut oil) terpolymer were characterized, and their solubility was studied and compared. Among the four kinds of disulfide polymers, poly (sulfur-styrene-peanut oil) terpolymer had the best solubility in an organic solvent, and it was chosen to be the active cathode material in Li-S battery. Subsequently, two different conductive additives—conductive carbon black and graphene were separately blended with this terpolymer to prepare two battery systems. The electrochemical performances of the two batteries were compared and analyzed. The result showed that the initial specific capacity of poly (sulfur-styrene-peanut oil) terpolymer (blended with conductive carbon black) battery was 935.88 mAh/g, with the capacity retention rate about 43.5%. Comparingly, the initial specific capacity of poly (sulfur-styrene-peanut oil) terpolymer (blended with graphene) battery was 1008.35 mAh/g, with the capacity retention rate around 60.59%. Therefore, the battery system of poly (sulfur-styrene-peanut oil) terpolymer with graphene showed a more stable cycle performance and better rate performance. This optimized system had a simple and environmental-friendly synthesis procedure, which showed a great application value in constructing cathode materials for the Li-S battery.
