Abstract:
The aim of this work was to determine the anisotropy of the electrophysical and mechanical properties of rubber reinforced with a hybrid filler CNTs&CB (carbon nanotubes and carbon black) as a function of CNT content and the technological parameters of the production process. A significant difference in electrical conductivity (σ) and dielectric permittivity (ε) in three perpendicular directions was found for CNT concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.007 in volume fraction. The highest values of σ and ε were observed in the calendering direction, with slightly lower values in the perpendicular direction. This effect was attributed to the orientation of polymer molecules and CNTs along the direction of movement during calendering, as well as the disruption of the cluster structure in the transverse direction. Although the calculated percolation threshold values of the investigated system differed slightly, a correlation was observed between the mechanical and electrophysical properties of CNTs&CB rubber. This correlation enables rubber products to be designed with optimal properties tailored to the desired direction.
