Elastomers are usually reinforced with the different type of nanofillers such as carbon black, fullerene,
carbon nanotube, graphite and graphene to get substantial electrical and mechanical properties [1]. Rubbers cannot
be used alone due to their poor mechanical, electrical properties and their rheological characteristics [2, 3]. The
graphene was selected as electrical conductive filler because nanocomposites own the best electrical conductive
property and mechanical properties. Especially, when the graphene (GE) used, could not only improve the
mechanical properties of rubbers at very low loading as phr (per hundred rubber) but also give some new
functionalities to the rubbers, for example, electrical conductivity, wear resistance for crack propagation sensing
in fatigue life [4]. The rubbers have been blended by adding nanographene fillers to improve crack propagation
sensing. It is essential to know how the rubber compounds respond to the deformations during the working
conditions or dynamic loading conditions.
