Abstract
Three-component high-elasticity nanocomposites consisting of methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ) and nanosized barium titanate (BT) and carbon black (CB) were fabricated. Studies on dielectric property and elastic modulus of the CB-BT/VMQ nanocomposites showed that the composites had a low percolation threshold ( f c = 0.0355 ) due to the use of nanosized CB, and the maximum of dielectricpermittivity was 960 at 10 3 Hz with a low dielectric loss (0.04). When the concentration of CB was close to f c , the dielectricpermittivity was sensitive to the change in temperature. The present dielectric properties and excellent elasticity would satisfy the need in practical applications, especially in some fields of cable accessories and heat sensitive sensors.Keywords
