Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research investigates the effect of different particle sizes of recovered carbon black (rCB) on the electrical conductivity, flexural and fractured toughness properties and morphology of epoxy/rCB conductive composites. The rCB powder was a product from the pyrolysis process of waste rubber tires. This research aims for the application of tray production in semiconductor packaging. In this study, the composite was prepared by using a simple mechanical stirring method. The testing and characterizations carried out included electrical conductivity test, flexural test, fracture toughness test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and viscosity. The epoxy/rCB conductive composite shows significant differences in electrical conductivity and mechanical properties when incorporated with different particle sizes of rCB. The conductivity percolation threshold was found at 1000 mesh with enhanced mechanical and electrical conductivity properties simultaneously.
