摘要
Abstract This work deals with the synthesis, characterization of hybrid ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) composites loaded with nano‐boron nitride (nano‐BN)/nano‐titanium dioxide (nano‐TiO 2 ) and micro Mg(OH) 2 particles for its suitability towards high‐voltage insulation application. The elastomer samples were prepared by carefully dispersing the micro and nano fillers during the mastication process of EPDM polymer using a two roll mill, followed by vulcanization. The samples were characterized for mechanical, morphological, thermal, and electrical insulation properties. The highest tensile strength among the composite samples was noted for 1 phr nanoparticles loaded samples. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) results show no change in the chemical moiety upon addition of nano‐BN/nano‐TiO 2 in EPDM composites. Enhancement in hydrophobicity is observed for 3 phr nano‐TiO 2 loaded composites, which shows a maximum static contact angle of 110°. Meanwhile remarkable enhancement in the thermal conductivity and volume resistance of the composites are contributed to the addition of nano‐BN, thereby achieving maximum dielectric breakdown voltage (i.e., ~21 kV/mm for EMB3). Scanning electron microscope images and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography highlight that low concentration (i.e., 1 phr) based composites have homogeneous dispersion in matrix and excessive nano filler addition deteriorates properties by forming filler aggregates and increasing surface roughness.
