Electrically conductive silicone rubber composites have been prepared through incorporation of conductive acetylene black and short carbon fibre (SCF). The percolation limit for the attainment of high conductivity is found to be relatively less for silicone rubber based composites compared to EPDM o

β¦ Synopsis
The electrical and mechanical properties of new conductive rubber composites based on ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and their 50/50 (weight ratio) blend filled with conductive black were investigated. The threshold concentrations for achieving high conductivity are explained on the basis of the viscosity of the rubber. The electrical conductivity increases with the increase in temperature whereas the activation energy of conduction decreases with an increase in filler loading and NBR concentration in the composites. The electrical hysteresis and electrical set are observed during the heating-cooling cycle, which is mainly due to some kind of irreversible change occurring in the conductive networks during heating. The mechanisms of conduction in these systems are discussed in the light of different theories.

A systematic dielectric and mechanical study was carried out on an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and a nitrile rubber (NBR) blended with polyacrylamide (PAM). From the compatibility investigations, it was found that EPDM/ PAM is incompatible while NBR/PAM is semicompatible. To overcome the
