Performance of Ceramizable Silicon Rubber Composite Tape for Cable

Abstract: Ceramizable silicone rubber composites were prepared by the melting blending method. The tensile properties, flame retardant property, and volume resistivity of the silicone rubber composites were tested. The results show that the tensile property of composites decline with the increasing flux amount. The introduction of more impurity ions improves the conductivity of the composites. The addition of SiO2 enhances the compactness of the filler network structure, and the elastic deformation and the tensile strength of the composites are also increased. The migration of carriers is hindered, which promotes the increase of volume resistivity of composites. Because of the synergistic effect of a variety of inorganic fillers, composite materials have a better flame retardant property. When the part of weight of glass powder and SiO2 is 40∶40, the oxygen index of the composites is the highest, meanwhile, the peak heat release rate and the peak smoke production rate are the lowest, and the fire risk is smaller. The blending of EVA and silicone rubber improves the rigidity and plastic deformation of the composites, and also changes the dispersion state of the fillers. The partially stacked fillers act as impurity ions, which causing the resistivity of the materials to decrease.
