مختصر البحثThe rice husk (RH) is a wide agricultural resource by-product of rice milling
process in Iraq. In this work, RH is used as filler to modified thermal conductivity and
dielectric constant of RTV silicone. RH-RTV silicone composites are prepared with
different RH filler particle sizes, they are equal to 6.5mm (raw RH), 1.18mm, 250 μm,
125 μm, 75 μm, and 50μm. The levels of RH filler loading (1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20)
(wt %). The thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of all RH-RTV silicone
composites are studied. The effect of varying frequency (from 500 Hz to 1 MHz) on
dielectric constant all composites is studied. The thermal conductivity of RH-RTV
silicone composites decrease with RH filler concentration increases and particle size
decreases, thermal conductivity has minimum value at 20%wt. The particle size effect
on thermal conductivity of composite is very observably at 50μm particle. The dielectric
constant of RH-RTV silicone composites is increased when RH filler concentration
increases and particle size decreases, thy have maximum value at 20%wt and 50μm RH
particle. The varying of frequency is low effect on 50μm RH-RTV silicone composites.
