Strontium ferrite was incorporated into different rubber matrices to prepare rubber magnetic composites. Three types of elastomers, butadiene rubber BR as non-polar elastomer, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber NBR and blend acrylonitrile butadiene rubber-polyvinyl chloride NBR/PVC as polar elastomers were chosen as rubber matrices. Surface modified strontium ferrite as magnetic filler was applied in concentration scale ranging from 0 to 100 phr. Besides the rubber and the filler, the rubber compounds contained only the ingredients of sulfur curing system. The results revealed that thermo-physical and magnetic properties of composites increased with doping content of ferrite. Moreover, the improvement of mechanical properties in dependence on strontium ferrite content was also recorded. It can be stated that the improvement of composite properties is in close correlation with the increase of polarity of the rubber matrix. POLYM.

This work deals with the preparation and properties evaluation of magnetic composites with acrylonitrile butadiene rubber matrix, which are able to shield electromagnetic radiation. In addition to the rubber matrix, these materials contained soft magnetic filler (Li or H40) and ingredients necessary for vulcanization process of prepared rubber compounds (sulfur, accelerator N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide, activators ZnO, and stearin). This study was aimed at the preparation of elastomeric composite materials and evaluation of the influence of ferrite weight fraction on curing characteristics, physical-mechanical, and magnetic properties. The results showed that with increasing content of filler, the moduli, and tensile strength decline. Conversely, elongation at break increased with increasing amount of filler. All composites containing 200 and more phr of ferrite showed sufficient absorption shielding properties, whereas lithium ferrite shows better shielding properties compared with manganese-zinc ferrite H40.
