Abstract The experiments described here were designed to examine the properties of ebonites made from various kinds of Buna synthetic rubber, including Buna-85, Buna-115, Buna-S and Buna-N. All Bunas are said to form ebonites by vulcanization with the normal amount of sulfur, Buna-85 and Buna-115 giving the best products. The resulting ebonites are stated to have much higher plastic yield temperatures than ordinary ebonite, figures quoted ranging from 100° to 175° C by the Martens test, compared with 70° to 90° C for natural-rubber ebonites. It may be added that Russian butadiene rubber likewise is claimed to give ebonites with much higher yield temperatures, namely, up to 160° C by a Vicat needle test, than ordinary ebonites, which give about 93° C. On the other hand, Buna ebonites are relatively brittle. The electrical properties of these ebonites are said to be good, and in this connection it should be noted that soft vulcanizates made from Buna-85 and Buna-115 have lower power factors than those made from natural rubber. Buna ebonites are more resistant than ordinary ebonite to attack by chemicals and to the swelling action of liquids such as benzene and nitrobenzene. The present report deals with certain properties of Buna ebonites, viz., plastic yield, cross-breaking strength, impact strength, radio-frequency permittivity and power factor.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been widely used to modify the mechanical performance of alkali activated slag composites (AASC); however, the mechanism is still unclear and the electrical properties of rGO reinforced AASC are unknown. Here, the rheological, mechanical, and electrical properties of the AASC containing rGO nanosheets (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt.%) are investigated. Results showed that rGO nanosheets addition can significantly improve the yield stress, plastic viscosity, thixotropy, and compressive strength of the AASC. The addition of 0.3 wt.% rGO nanosheets increased the stress, viscosity, thixotropy, and strength by 186.77 times, 3.68 times, 15.15 times, and 21.02%, respectively. As for electrical properties, the impedance of the AASC increased when the rGO content was less than 0.2 wt.% but decreased with the increasing dosage. In contrast, the dielectric constant and electrical conductivity of the AASC containing rGO nanosheets decreased and then increased, which can be attributed to the abundant interlayer water and the increasing structural defects as the storage sites for charge carriers, respectively. In addition, the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the AASC is also studied and the results indicated that the agglomeration of GO nanosheets largely inhibited the application of it in the AASC, even with a small dosage.
