Mineral fillers reduced tensile strength and raised surface resistivity in silicone rubber
—
in EngineeringWhat the study found Adding mineral fillers to silicone rubber lowered its mechanical tensile performance but increased its surface resistivity. The study concludes that, for these silicone rubber composites, the mechanical and electrical properties did not change together in a connected way. Why the authors say this matters The authors state that silicone rubber-based composites…
Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
