Starting with ordinary silicone rubber sealant add as much ultra-fine graphite powder as it is possible to get the sealant to absorb to make a putty. You will need to add so much that the putty will *almost* no longer be mouldable. Form the putty around a wire and leave to cure. You will now have a carbon rubber electrode. If it does not conduct you have not added enough graphite dust. As some silicone sealant contains fungicide this should not be used on the skin.
Adding lighter fluid to silicone sealant thins it down. It may be possible to do this when making the putty to thin it down and get it to absorb more graphite powder. However I have not attempted to thin the mix in this way and as the lighter fluid stays in the silicone putty after curing *never* use this when skin contact is intended.
What else can I help you with?
What is the standard electrode potential of carbon?
The standard electrode potential of carbon is 0 V when referenced against the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). This means that carbon is neither a strong oxidizing agent nor a strong reducing agent under standard conditions.
How do you make rubber as a conductor?
Rubber is an insulator, not a conductor. To make rubber conductive, it can be mixed with a conductive material like carbon black or metal particles. This creates a composite material that allows the rubber to conduct electricity.
Which element is the reference element is chemistry?
Carbon is the reference element for the definition of the mole. In electrochemistry, the reference element/electrode is the Hydrogen electrode and all electrode potentials are against the hydrogen standard.
How may the production of electrodes be said to have diversified?
The 30-inch carbon electrode was produced in 1927 and the 40-inch carbon electrode followed a year later. Graphite electrodes progressed similarly, but at a slightly slower pace
What element makes up the center electrode post of ordinary flashlight batteries?
The center electrode post of an ordinary flashlight battery is typically made of carbon. This post plays a crucial role in conducting electricity from the battery to power the device.
What kind of material is used to make the positive electrode of a dry cell?
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
What elements make up carbon rubber?
Rubber basically if vulcanized contains small amounts of Sulphur and Carbon as the main component.
What is the standard electrode potential of carbon?
The standard electrode potential of carbon is 0 V when referenced against the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). This means that carbon is neither a strong oxidizing agent nor a strong reducing agent under standard conditions.

What is used to make tires?
Rubber, steel, rayon or nylon, & carbon black.
Which element is the reference element is chemistry?
Carbon is the reference element for the definition of the mole. In electrochemistry, the reference element/electrode is the Hydrogen electrode and all electrode potentials are against the hydrogen standard.
What element is in center electron post of a battery?
We find carbon or graphite as the center electrode of a zinc-carbon battery. It's the "common" battery we use in lots of stuff (but not an alkaline battery). That center electrode is the positive one, and the zinc makes up the outer or negative electrode in this battery. In an alkaline battery, manganese dioxide is the center, or the cathode (positive electrode). Powdered zinc will be found as the outer or negative electrode (anode).
How may the production of electrodes be said to have diversified?
The 30-inch carbon electrode was produced in 1927 and the 40-inch carbon electrode followed a year later. Graphite electrodes progressed similarly, but at a slightly slower pace
What mineral is used to make tires?
As you might imagine there is more than one. Sulfur, Carbon Black, Rubber.
What is the polarity of rubber?
Rubber is non-polar because its molecular structure contains primarily carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. As a result, rubber does not have regions of significantly different electronegativity, which is characteristic of polar molecules.
What element makes up the center electrode post of ordinary flashlight batteries?
The center electrode post of an ordinary flashlight battery is typically made of carbon. This post plays a crucial role in conducting electricity from the battery to power the device.
Why is steel not suitable for making the positive electrode?
Actually alkaline batteries use a steel cup coated with carbon as the positive electrode. However the steel is purely structural to support the carbon coating and to prevent leakage of the electrolyte. It does not participate in generating the electricity.
