Fused Silica Filled Silicone Rubber Composites for Flexible Electronic Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silicone rubber composites filled with fused silica were prepared through sigma mixing followed by hot pressing. Filling fraction of fused silica in the silicone rubber matrix was varied from 0-0.51 volume fraction (Vf) and its effects on dielectric properties at different frequencies, thermal properties and moisture absorption were investigated. The results indicate that with the increase of filler volume fraction the relative permittivity increases and dielectric loss decreases. The coefficient of thermal expansion decreased and the moisture absorption increased marginallyas the filler loading increased.
