Dielectric Properties of EPDM/ATH/Clay Compounds

EPDM/ATH/Clay 파운드의 절연특성

In the present study. we investigated the role of fillers, alumina trihydrate (ATH) and calcined clay, on the mechanical and electrical properties of EPDM compounds. Mechanical properties and tracking resistance improved with increasing ATH fillers. whereas volume resistivity, tan$\delta$ and dielectric constant decreased when ATH was replaced by clay filler. Futhermore, it was more prominent in $90^{\circ}C$ hot water test. This was explained with polarity of ATH, and the smaller particle size of ATH filler than clay filler.
