Abstract
In this work, the mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties of natural rubber (NR) composites containing iron or nickel nanoparticles at different percentage varying from 0 to 120 phr (part of magnetic particle per hundred rubber) have been investigated at room temperature. It was found that the optimum concentration of magnetic fillers in NR is 30 phr, which improve the rheometric characteristics and physico-mechanical properties. Magnetic properties of the rubber composites have been investigated using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature. The magnetic measurements show superparamagnetic behavior for all Ni and Fe nanoparticles percentage. The electrical measurements show a strong dependency of the conductivity on the percentage of magnetic nanoparticles.
