In this study, Silicone rubber composites are prepared with Glycerol filler in three different volume fractions. The samples developed are subjected to mechanical and dielectric testing. The tensile strength increases first and later decreases with Glycerol loading whereas compression strength decreases with Glycerol loading. Modulus of elasticity in tension and compression both decreases with the increase of Glycerol loading. Dielectric permittivity, dissipation factor and conductivity are increases with the increase of Glycerol loading. The Silicone Rubber (SR) composite with 15% volume of Glycerol filler shown a maximum reduction in modulus of elasticity of 29% (in tension) and 16.8% (in compression), and maximum improvement in the dielectric permittivity of 112% compared to neat silicone rubber. The reduction in modulus of elasticity with an increase in dielectric permittivity with an increase in Glycerol loading suggests that this material is a potential candidate for materials to be used in soft dielectric sensors and actuator applications.

在这项研究中，硅橡胶复合材料是用三种不同体积分数的甘油填料制备的。开发的样品经过机械和介电测试。抗拉强度随着甘油的加载先增加后下降，而压缩强度随着甘油的加载而下降。拉伸和压缩的弹性模量都随着甘油负载的增加而降低。介电常数、损耗因数和电导率随着甘油负载量的增加而增加。具有 15% 体积甘油填料的硅橡胶 (SR) 复合材料显示弹性模量最大降低 29%（拉伸）和 16.8%（压缩），与纯硅橡胶 (SR) 复合材料相比，介电常数最大提高 112%硅橡胶。
