    This paper presents comparative investigations on dual and ternary composites based on nitrile butadiene rubber. These composites were filled with carbon black and nickel powder at various ratios with each filler or with a combination of both. The focus of this study is on the electrical, mechanical and dynamic properties of the materials as influenced by the loading rate, applied pressure and bending degree have on the specific volume electrical resistivity. The investigations of the dynamic properties view the effect that the amount and chemical nature of the fillers have on the storage modulus and the tangent of the mechanical loss angle. It has been established that the specific characteristics of each of the fillers (particle size, specific surface, tendency to aggregate and agglomerate, interaction with the elastomeric matrix) have the greatest impact on composite properties. Scanning electron microscopy studies of the fillers and composites also confirm the results obtained.
