Abstract

The liquid silicone rubber (LSR) composites use increasing in mechanical and electrical properties because of their wide applications. In this work, the chemical properties of the composite material which is made with the liquid silicone rubber and fiber filler. This composite may exposed to the environment because it is best suitable material to prepare an electrical insulation. The LSR composites are prepared in a normal room temperature and hand casting process. In this process the fiber scrap is used as filler and with the help of sieve shaker we have collected-75micron particle. Then the composites are prepared with 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, thickness samples on the base of fiber and hardener. The sample is not reacted with salt and acid tests. The electrical conductance of samples is increased in 1N, and 10N of NaCl solutions. The TDS of the solutions is increases then the electrical conductance of the solutions also increased. And there is no change of PH of the solutions and weight of the samples before 56hrs and after 56HRs. The increase in TDS of the solutions is increases the EC in all the solutions except the H2SO4 solution.
