Abstract

The study presents the effect that elastomeric matrices different in their chemical nature (a non-polar and crystallizing natural rubber and a polar and non-crystallizing acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) have upon the dynamic mechanical and dielectric properties of the composites comprising different amounts of conductive carbon black. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and Dielectric thermal analysis (DETA) are the techniques used for studying the structure-properties relationships of the composites. The experimental results show that the matrices studied and their specific properties have a great impact upon both the dynamic mechanical and dielectric parameters of the composites based on them. The chemical nature, structure and specific characteristics of the matrix affect the storage modulus, glass transition temperature, elasticity behavior, high-elasticity, energy dispersion, dielectric permittivity and DETA tan δ of the composites investigated. The matrix effect dominates at lower filler amounts and determines the properties of the composites.
