The influence of carbon black on the electrical and mechanical behavior of an EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer) rubber was investigated. Resistivity, dissipation factor, dielectric strength, and initial tracking voltage, as well as hardness, tensile strength, elongation, and some moduli, were...
