Influence of processing conditions on dispersion, electrical and mechanical properties of graphene-filled-silicone rubber composites

The influence of difference processing conditions on dispersion, electrical and mechanical properties of graphene-filled-silicone rubber (SR) composites was investigated. Transmission optical microscopy, SEM and TEM results revealed that the dispersion levels of graphene sheets in the SR matrix were strongly dependent on the processing conditions. Compared with the mechanical mixing and solution blending methods, the ball-milling procedure...
