Abstract
This work evaluated the rheological, mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties of nitrile rubber (NBR) and carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) blends added with 30 phr of conductive carbon black. The NBR/XNBR ratios studied were 100/0, 80/20, 50/50, 20/80, 10/90 e 0/100. The results obtained showed that increasing the content of XNBR in the blends, reduced the vulcanization rate (CRI), but the mechanical properties have increased in relation to the samples with high NBR content. Through the analysis of scanning electron microscopy showed that the carbon black were dispersed best in compositions rich on XNBR elastomer, these samples also showed higher resistance to swelling. Result that corroborates with the values found for tensile strength. The greater attenuation on radar range was also observed to the sample containing only nitrile rubber, the attenuation value was 50% of the absorbed energy, approximately -3 dB.
