Synthesis & characterization of doped nickel ferrite filled natural rubber nano composites

Abstract

Synthesis of rubber nanocomposite containing differently doped ferrites were fabricated using Co-precipitation method. The nano particles characterization was carried out by SEM, FTIR and XRD to confirm that the ferrites were synthesized in nanometer dimensions. The rubber mixes were incorporated with metallic nano fillers and the obtained nanocomposites were analysed for mechanical studies such as hardness, specific gravity, tear and tensile strength. The copper doped samples shows excellent mechanical properties over other dopants and hence paving the way for decisive technical applications.
