Study the Effect of Fiber Particles in Silicone Rubber to Improve the Mechanical Properties

Department of Mechanical Engineering, S R Engineering College, Warangal, Telangana, India

Abstract

In this project we have found that the mechanical properties of tensile strength and hardness are increases on the basis of effect of fiber and effect of hardener in a liquid silicone rubber matrix. The percentage of hardener increases with increasing the hardness of the silicone rubber composite. The composite consists of 15% hardener has given higher hardness compared to 10% and 5% of hardener. The condition at 80% of silicone rubber, 5% of hardener, 15% of fiber showed higher hardness compare to the other conditions. The thickness of composites increases then the strength of the composites also increased.
