Mechanical and Dielectric Properties of NiZn Ferrite Powders-CTBN Modified Epoxy Resin Coatings

In this study, the effects of carboxyl terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile liquid rubber (CTBN) addition on the mechanical and dielectric properties of NiZn ferrite powders-CTBN modified epoxy resin coatings were investigated. It was observed that the occurrence of the small, dispersed spherical CTBN domains in the epoxy resin resulted from the phase separation between epoxy and CTBN could enhance the toughness and dielectric constant at low frequency due to the increase in the phase boundary between ferrite powders and epoxy resin for the samples modified with proper CTBN. The addition of ferrite powders can effectively improve the thermal stability of epoxy resin.
