This study explores the performance of natural rubber-based composites filled with various hybrid fillers, focusing on their vulcanization, mechanical, and dielectric properties over the frequency range of 2.5 to 10 GHz. Experiments have been performed with fillers based on SiO₂, TiO₂, kaolin and CaCO₃.

Nowadays the term “hybrid” is being used in many aspects to describe the specifics of matter or a phenomenon. As far as the narrow scientific field of composite material is concerned, it describes the complimenting properties of a combination of substances utilized to produce new items meeting particular requirements. The new multi-functions achieved surpassing those of the original materials have been in the focus of engineering research and development teams.
