Elastomer-Based Composite Materials: Mechanical, Dynamic, and
Microwave Properties and Engineering Applications is focused on
elastomer-based composite materials comprising different types of
reinforcing fillers. The book provides an informative examination
of the possibilities for broadening the engineering applications of
elastomer composites through using various types of hybrid fillers,
ferrites, and ceramics, and also examines their synthesis and
characterization. It discusses new hybrid fillers that have been
synthesized by different techniques, e.g. impregnation of different
substrates (carbon black, conductive carbon black, activated
carbons, etc.) with silica or magnetite. These new fillers have
been thoroughly characterized by standard techniques and by
up-to-date methods, such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in
scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM-EDX), atomic
absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and inductively coupled
plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The effect of those
fillers upon the curing properties, mechanical and dynamic
parameters, electrical conductivity, and dielectric and microwave
characteristics of elastomer-based composites is discussed in
detail in this volume. The book also covers the influence of
various types of ceramics (SiC, B4C, and TiB2) and barium and
strontium hexaferrites upon the aforementioned properties of rubber
composites in conjunction with a view toward solutions for
environmental problems caused by waste tires. The book shows that
pyrolysis-cum-water vapor is a suitable and environmentally
friendly method for the conversion of the waste green tires into
useful carbon-silica hybrid fillers. The properties of
elastomer-based composites comprising different types of
nanostructures (fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene
nanoplatelets), modified activated carbons, and calcined kaolin are
also discussed. Special attention is paid to composites with lower
levels of zinc oxide. The volume provides an abundance of knowledge
on the detailed characterization of these fillers and on the
curing, mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and dielectric and
microwave properties of the elastomeric composites. The book
surveys the most recent research activities of the authors, which
will make it a vital reference source for scientists in both the
academic and industrial sectors, as well as for individuals who are
interested in rubber materials. It will be very useful for
students, especially PhD students, scientists, lecturers, and
engineers working or doing research in the field of polymer
materials science, elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites
and their engineering applications in the production of microwave
absorbers and electromagnetic waves shielding materials, materials
for electronics devices and telecommunications.
