Elastomer Composites with the Effects of Electromagnetic Shielding
The main goal of the present work is the preparation of rubber composites filled with soft magnetic lithium ferrite and metallic FeSi powder and investigation of filler influence on curing characteristics, selected physical-mechanical properties and shielding characteristics of tested systems. The study is also dedicated to the evaluation of crosslink density of prepared materials.Weiterlesen...
Application of Endochronic Plasticity on Simulation of Technical Rubber Components
„Endochronic plasticity is applied on rubber components to describe quasi-static inelasticity such as MULLINS effect, hysteresis and remaining strains by a FE model. Following [7] many modifications and implementations of that constitutive model are known. For realistic simulations a stable parameter calibration process is required.Weiterlesen...
Graphene filled Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Nanocomposites
The exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets (xGnPs) are a new class 3-d carbon based layered nanofillers containing stacks of graphene sheets. Four commercially available carbon based nanofillers xGnPs of type xg C750, xg M5 and UF1 C98 and additional carbon black (CB) N339 with nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR 3945) as rubber matrix were used. The rubber nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing.Weiterlesen...
