Material Characterization and Microwave Substrate Applications of Alumina‐Filled Butyl Rubber Composites

Abstract: Composites of butyl rubber with micron alumina (BRAL) and nanoalumina (BRnAL) have been prepared by sigma mixing. The stress-strain curves of both BRAL and BRnAL composites show the mechanical flexibility of the composites. The dielectric and thermal properties of both composites were studied as a function of ceramic loading. For 0.1 volume fraction of micron alumina loading, the composites have attained a relative permittivity (e r ) of 2.82 and loss tangent (tand) of 0.0023 at 5 GHz, and for the same volume … Show more

“…The requirements for a material to be used as a flexible dielectric waveguide are mechanical flexibility, high relative permittivity, low dielectric loss, high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), etc. Recently low-loss ceramic-filled butyl rubber and silicon rubberbased composites have been reported, [134][135][136] but further work is needed for device optimisation.…”

“…Many authors [9][10][11][12] have extensively studied the reinforcement of butyl rubber with different fillers, and their effects on the various properties of the polymer composites. The electrical and thermal properties of IIR/NBR were enhanced by the addition of carbon black N-326 and N-774.…”
