Various parameters such aas pigment content, metal ion type, and particle size were investigated and theireffect on rheological, physico-mechanical and dielectric properties were highlighted. A significant improvement in the cure behaviour of the NR and the physical properties of the blend has benn observed. Dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature ~300dC. The variation of the dielectric properties with phosphate pigments was correlated with the mechanical properties of the composites ER -
