Abstract | ||||
Two different Composite samples of NR and IIR were prepared with graphite as reinforcing filler in bulk and membrane forms. Tensile tests were performed at room temperature to explore the rule of graphite on the mechanical reinforcement of these composites. For bulk form, tensile modulus was found to increase with filler loading which could be explained using the percolation theory. Different models were applied to account for the experimental data. For NR in the membrane form, the percolation threshold is lower than that in the bulk form while the tensile modulus has increased to about 18 times than its value in the bulk state for NR. | ||||
