Plastics offer cost, maintenance, and density advantages over metals for many lowstrength applications. Low electrical and thermal conductivities, however, are major deficiencies for some applications. The addition of conductive fillers to the polymer will improve these deficiencies. The two filler parameters which most significantly affect the conductivity of the composite are volume loading and the shape. This paper discusses the effects of various filler types and shapes on the conducitivity of plastics.

Conductive plastics are attracting more and more interest in electronics due to their light weight and inability to rust, which are common problems associated with metals. In this work silicone rubbers reinforced with conductive fillers have been fabricated for use in various applications in electronics, telecommunications, and electronics enclosures, or to protect human factor, namely protective clothing. This paper presents the results of experimental determinations concerning electromagnetic field attenuation in materials containing micro-particles of nanocarbon in their structure. To know the effect of shielding effectiveness of electromagnetic field electromagnetic absorbents were performed by transmission measurements of attenuation in the frequency range 1-18 GHz. The goal of present paper consits in the realization a composit material with polymeric matrix. The materials were characterized by transmision diminishing carried out, relative permittivity, compression test and electrical conductivity.

Graphite flakes and silicone carbide particles are used as heat conductive fillers added into methyl vinyl silicone rubber, and the effect of filler amount, filler shape and different curing agents (DCP, DBPMH) on the thermal conductivities of silicone rubber are investigated in this article. The results reveal that the thermal conductivities of composite silicone rubber will be increased with the increase of the amount of fillers. While the filling content surpasses a certain value, the thermal conductivity of composite increases obviously. The silicone rubber filled with graphite flake possesses a higher thermal conductivity than that filled with silicone carbide particles at relative high fillers content, but both of them are close to each other at relative low fillers content. Moreover, the thermal conductivities of composite silicone rubber filled with the powder form curing agent (DCP) are better than that of composite silicone rubber filled the liquid form curing agent (DBPMH).

In order to improve the thermal conductivities of composites, AlN are used as thermal conductive fillers of EPDM rubber. The contact angle and surface free energy of AlN and modified AlN are studied. The influence filler amount and the surface treatment of AlN which coated by phenol formaldehyde resin (PF), on the thermal conductivities and mechanical properties of composites material are also investigated. The results show that the surface free energy of modified AlN is lower than unmodified, so the modified AlN are easier dispersion in the matrix. Through the TGA analysis, it can give a quantitative analysis of the surface coating thickness. With the increase of the filler, the thermal conductivities of composites are all on the rise, while the mechanical properties decreased in different degree. The modified AlN have active impacts on the thermal conductivities and harmful to mechanical properties of the filled EPDM rubber.

Micro- and nano- silicone carbide particles are used as heat conductive fillers of methyl vinyl silicone rubber, and the influence of filler amount, particle size and the surface treatment of filler on the thermal conductivities and mechanical properties of silicone rubber are studied. The results show that the thermal conductivities of silicone rubber are improved, but the mechanical properties are worse with the increase of the amount of fillers. The composite filled with smaller sized silicone carbide has a better thermal conductivity than that filled with large particles in a relatively high filling fraction, and composite filled with different sized silicone carbide has different mechanical properties at the same filling amount. Treatment of fillers with coupling agent (KH-560, A-171) has active impacts on the thermal conductivity but negative impacts on mechanical properties of the filled silicone rubber.

Lightweight cement mortars containing end-of-life tire rubber (TR) as aggregate were prepared and characterized by rheological, thermal, mechanical, microstructural, and wetting tests. The mixtures were obtained after total replacement of the conventional sand aggregate with untreated TR with different grain sizes (0–2 mm and 2–4 mm) and distributions (25%, 32%, and 40% by weight). The mortars showed lower thermal conductivities (≈90%) with respect to the sand reference due to the differences in the conductivities of the two phases associated with the low density of the aggregates and, to a minor extent, to the lack of adhesion of tire to the cement paste (evidenced by microstructural detection). In this respect, a decrease of the thermal conductivities was observed with the increase of the TR weight percentage together with a decrease of fluidity of the fresh mixture and a decrease of the mechanical strengths. The addition of expanded perlite (P, 0–1 mm grain size) to the mixture allowed us to obtain mortars with an improvement of the mechanical strengths and negligible modification of the thermal properties. Moreover, in this case, a decrease of the thermal conductivities was observed with the increase of the P/TR dosage together with a decrease of fluidity and of the mechanical strengths. TR mortars showed discrete cracks after failure without separation of the two parts of the specimens, and similar results were observed in the case of the perlite/TR samples thanks to the rubber particles bridging the crack faces. The super-elastic properties of the specimens were also observed in the impact compression tests in which the best performances of the tire and P/TR composites were evidenced by a deep groove before complete failure. Moreover, these mortars showed very low water penetration through the surface and also through the bulk of the samples thanks to the hydrophobic nature of the end-of-life aggregate, which makes these environmentally sustainable materials suitable for indoor and outdoor elements.
