| Abstract | ||||
| This study focuses on the effect of the carbon fiber (CF) concentration on the physico-chemical properties of Isobutylene and Isoprene Butyle Rubber (IIR) composites. The kinetic parameters for the vulcanization process of IIR/CF composites were calculated and discussed. The swelling mechanisms were identified; whereas, relative humidity and resistance during swelling as a function of carbon fiber content were measured. The effects of carbon fiber contents on some electrical and mechanical properties were investigated. SEM was used to support the observed trends. It was demonstrated that carbon fiber accelerates the vulcanization process by acting as a catalyst and improves the physico-chemical properties of IIR composites for practical applications. | ||||
