However, actuation in VHB elastomers is well-known to be enhanced by cross-linkers and plasticizers, the impacts of particulate fillers on their structure, properties, and performance are yet to be recognized. This work addresses the influences of barium titanate (BT) and Ketjenblack (KB) dispersed trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as fillers on the behavior of VHB 4910 elastomer for the planar actuators. The elastomer composites are prepared by swelling and then thermochemical curing of the samples in BT and KB dispersed TMPTMA. The incorporation of fillers in the elastomer matrix is confirmed by comparing optical micrographs, swelling degree, cross-link density, molecular bonds, optical bandgap, and opto-dielectric characteristics. Thus, the dielectric and mechanical behavior and electromechanical actuation performance of the filler-reinforced elastomer are discussed. Improved dielectric constant and specifically reduced elastic modulus are witnessed due to the gelation of TMPTMA leading to a new range of actuation in VHB 4910 elastomer. The areal actuation in elastomer comprising BT, KB and BT-KB particle dispersed TMPTMA is estimated at about 180%, 150% and 165%, respectively. The low electric field requirement is noticed for BT-containing elastomer composite. This work scopes the use of swelling techniques to modify microporous elastomers with particulate fillers towards soft actuators, sensors, and energy generators.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":601,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Polymer Journal","volume":"33 8","pages":"1047 - 1064"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140592850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formulations containing graphene oxide obtained from the recycling of exhausted batteries exhibited superior thermal properties and melt flow index compared to pure polypropylene. In addition, the composites containing 0.7% of graphene oxide showed an increase in flow index compared to the composite containing carbon black. The rheological properties of samples containing graphene oxide had values closer to pure polypropylene compared to those containing only hyperdispersant or carbon black. The increase in the flow index of a composite containing graphene oxide can result in energy cost savings during processing. Polypropylene/graphene oxide composites present an interesting alternative by replacing carbon black with recycled graphene oxide, both in terms of costs and environmental impact, aligning with the principles of green chemistry.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":601,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Polymer Journal","volume":"33 7","pages":"955 - 964"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140202160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
