Abstract

Crack growth characteristics of fluoroelastomer vulcanizates filled with carbon black (size: 30 nm) and short Kevlar fibre (6 mm length) under static and dynamic conditions have been evaluated. The fibre reinforced vulcanizate shows higher J c values (80 kJ m−2) than both the carbon black filled sample (44 kJ m−2) and the control (15 kJ m−2). However, under dynamic fatigue conditions, the black filled sample is stronger.
