Abstract
This paper worked to enhance the characteristics of Nitrile butadiene Rubber (NBR) such as dielectric, thermal characteristics for industrial applications, by adding different concentrations of industrial waste (quartz) and by-product (silica fume) from manufacture of ferrosilicon alloys in rubber matrix. the dielectric characteristics of NBR composites was studied by measuring dielectric strength, also studied the effect of hybrid filler on NBR composites by adding various concentrations of mica filler to the concentration of silica fume and quartz. The thermal characteristics of NBR composites were investigated in this work with filler and hybrid filler on NBR. The particle size and particle shape of silica fume and quartz was studied by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). For these composites the Scan Electron Microscopy (SEM) was done.
