Elastomeric Composites

ABSTRACTElastomeric composites based on Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer (EPDM) filled with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been prepared, showing improved mechanical properties as compared to the pure EPDM matrix. The results have been discussed using the Guth model. The main focus of the study was on the electrical behavior of the nanocomposites, in view of possible sensor applications. A linear relation has been found between conductivity and deformations up to 10% strain, which means that such materials could be used for applications such as strain or pressure sensors. Cyclic experiments were conducted to establish whether the linear relation was reversible, which is an important requirement for sensor materials.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as filler to enhance thermal conductivity of Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) polymers. In order to study the thermal conductivity of the MWNTs/EPDM composites in three different directions, an experiment was conducted by the heat probe method. The results show the general average thermal conductivity of MWNTs/EPDM composites is 0.323 W/m•K，which is significantly higher than EPDM polymers. The maximum difference of thermal conductivity between two directions is 8.7% relative to the general average, indicating obvious anisotropic behavior.
