“…Adding filler particles to elastomers such as natural rubber has been done for centuries for the purposes of both reinforcement and cost reduction, most commonly with carbon black or silica particles . As the fraction of particulate increases, the effective stiffness of the ferroelastomer will rise because of two effects: the weighted combination of the stiffness of the two constituents is higher, and the particles provide additional cross-linking sites that restrict the mobility of the polymer chains .…”

In this work, silicone loaded with magnetic particles is investigated for creating a composite with higher permeability while still maintaining stretchability. Magnetic and mechanical properties are first characterized for composites based on both spherical and platelet particle geometries. The first magnetic-core stretchable inductors are then demonstrated using the resulting ferroelastomer. Solenoid inductors based on liquid metal galinstan are then demonstrated around a ferroelastomeric core and shown to survive uniaxial strains up to 100%. Soft elastomers loaded with magnetic particles were found to increase the core permeability and inductance density of stretchable inductors by nearly 200%.

Hyperelastic behavior and dynamic mechanical relaxation in carbon black‐polymer composites

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tensile and thermo‐mechanical properties of nano‐composites fabricated by mechanically mixing semi‐crystalline ethylene‐co‐butyl acrylate (EBA) and carbon black (CB) nanoparticles are investigated. Stress–strain curves performed on samples over a broad range of CB content evidence the hyperelastic behavior of the EBA matrix. Neo‐Hookean and Mooney‐Rivlin models are used to fit the observed linear and nonlinear mechanical behaviors, respectively. The thermo‐mechanical curves highlight two relaxation phenomena depending on the CB content. Correspondingly, the EBA/CB interface properties are analyzed by correlating the volume fraction of the constrained polymer to the relaxation behavior of the viscoelastic linear regime. POLYM.
