This study investigates the effects of micron-sized eggshells filler on resistance to tracking and erosion of silicone rubber composite. Eggshells with particle size from 44 to 53 microns were filled into liquid room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber with 0, 5, 15, 25, and 30 part per hundred of rubber (phr). IEC-60587 inclined plane test (IPT) was employed to appraise the surface tracking resistance. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to evaluate its thermal stability. Experimental results revealed an improvement of tracking and erosion resistance due to an addition of eggshells particles. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the composites showed variation in the increasing amount of the filler. The filler indicated that higher thermal stability of eggshells influences the heat resistance of the matrix. An increase of the heat resistance resulted in the ability to slow down tracking growth and erosion in the discharge region.

Silicone rubber composites filled with nano-silica are currently widely used as high voltage insulating materials in power transmission and substation systems. We present a systematic study on the dielectric and mechanical performance of silicone rubber filled with surface modified and unmodified fumed nano-silica. The results indicate that the different interfaces between the silicone rubber and the two types of nano-silica introduce changes in their dielectric response when electrically stressed by a sinusoidal excitation in the frequency range of 10−4–1 Hz. The responses of pure silicone rubber and the composite filled with modified silica can be characterized by a paralleled combination of Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars interface polarization and DC conduction. In contrast, the silicone rubber composite with the unmodified nano-silica exhibits a quasi-DC (Q-DC) transport process. The mechanical properties of the composites (represented by their stress-strain characteristics) reveal an improvement in the mechanical strength with increasing filler content. Moreover, the strain level of the composite with a modified filler is improved.

Ozone Resistance

Silicone rubber has excellent performance, such as cold resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance, thermal properties and insulating properties and so on. However, silicone rubber is in the state of semi-liquids and it is very soft, so the mechanical properties of silicone rubber are very poor. In order to improve its availability of silicone rubber, short basalt fiber / silicone rubber composite materials were prepared by using short basalt fiber as reinforcement, and its mechanical properties and compatibility were studied. The best formulation of short basalt fiber / silicone rubber composite materials were determined by testing Shore A hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break, and the morphology structure and compatibility of short basalt fiber / silicone rubber composite materials were discussed by scanning electron microscope and infrared spectrum, prepare excellent performance of silicone rubber composite materials.

Percolation Network

The nanocomposites of carbon nanotube/polymer have been studied to explore their piezoresistance properties, which can be used as smart materials in the fields like biomedical engineering, robotic engineering, and advanced instrumentation. The differences in piezoresistance behavior of the previous studies were explained by the less uniformity of carbon nanotubes. To clarify the resistance versus deformation relations for carbon nanotube/silicone rubber composite materials, we have fabricated composite materials with various nanotube and carbon black contents. The measurements show that the resistance versus deformation sensitive range is depends on both the content of nanotube and carbon black, while the tiny variation of content of the carbon black affects largely the total piezoresistance sensitivity and repeatability. The experiment shows that adequate amount of carbon balck mixed with carbon nanotube can improve the piezoresistance repeatability. The deformation induced variation of the conducting percolation network shall be the dominating mechanism for the piezoresistance behavior of carbon nanotube/silicone rubber composites.

Rtv Silicone Rubber

In this article we report the preparation of a graphene/room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber composite. Both the morphology and the properties of the composite were investigated in detail. SEM study shows that the composite has a microphase-separated structure. PDMS is the continuous phase, and the randomly distributed graphene nanosheets and a few aggregates are the dispersed phase. However, DSC curves of the composites have only one glass transition temperature (Tg). With the increases of the graphene content, Tg increases and Tm decreases. Mechanical properties tests show that the addition of graphene has a significant reinforcement effect on silicone rubber. The tensile strength is 0.37MPa with graphene mass fraction at 1.0%, which increases 76% compared with that of pure silicone rubber parallel sample.
