Abstract
The incorporation of various types of ferrites in rubber matrixes leads to the development of rubber ferrite composites (RFC). These RFC have a large number of applications as flexible magnets, high-tech sensors, for telecommunication and radiowave absorbers. Both natural and synthetic rubber has the potential of being value added by the incorporation of ferrites. Applications like microwave absorbers warrant that these composites have an appropriate dielectric strength with the required magnetic property. This can be achieved by synthesizing composites based on natural rubber and ferrites. In this paper we report the synthesis of RFC containing barium ferrite according to a specific recipe and its evaluation of dielectric and mechanical properties.
