Abstract
A rubber compound for use in a stator. The rubber compound includes a fiber reinforcement, which may include fibrillated fibers in some embodiments, and short chop fibers in others. Fibers in the fiber reinforcement create a grain direction. In some embodiments, the rubber compound has a first value for 25% tensile Modulus across the grain and a second value for 25% tensile Modulus with the grain, wherein the first value is at least 10% lower than the second value. In embodiments, the fiber reinforcement may include a fiber loading of greater than 1.0 phr of fibers. In embodiments, the rubber compound may have a 25% tensile Modulus of greater than 400 psi across the grain and a 50% tensile Modulus of greater than 700 psi across the grain. In embodiments, at least some of the fibers may have a Modulus greater than 2.0 GPa.
