Abstract Nanocomposites are very important materials because it imparts superior properties than other
composites with low level of filler loading. Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is a non-polar rubber
which acts as an insulator and has low electrical conductivity. Graphene platelet nano-powder
from 0.1 to 1.25 phr level is incorporated into SBR rubber in order to improve the electrical
properties. Comparative studies on electrical and mechanical properties of styrene butadiene
rubber with graphene platelet nano-powder (GPN) by varying the filler content are made. The
incorporation of Graphene platelet nano-powder increases the electrical conductivity in styrene
butadiene rubber. It has been observed that… More >
