Mechanical And Thermal Properties Of Nanoparticles Filled Silicone Rubber Composites

In the first stage of current study, three types of nano fillers which are boron nitride (BN), silicon nitride (SN) and nanodiamond (ND) have been used to fabricate silicone rubber composites. Among the three fillers studied, ND has emerged as the best filler in enhancing the thermal conductivity, t...
