I want to make transparent conductive silicone rubber. What should I do to make it conductive?
Dear Hardik Ambaliya :
One alternative is to dope it with a donnor/acceptor impurity.
Dope with carbon nanotubes?
Investigate the mass% needed to achieve a percolation threshold in silicone rubber (it could be as low as 0.5% and is likely to be no more than 1.5% by mass)
Note that the challenge will be achieving a good dispersion, but if you can get over that problem then this should work.
I want to make Anti static transparent silicone rubber.which Anti static agent should be use whose that not decrease transparency properties of silicone rubber?
Carbon-based materials are often used as anti-static agents.... but of course, they are black and therefore will be a problem, unless they are at very low loading in your system. I would still encourage you to do some literature investigation around carbon nanotubes. At a low loading they may not impact the transparency very much (ultimately, whatever you pick, there is likely to be a trade-off between transparency and anti-static properties so it just depernds what your final application can tolerate)
Can I am use of any salt for Anti static agent .
Such as tin tetrachloride ,silver salt any metal salt.
It is worth doing some simple web searching to get some answers. Wiki references the use of indium tin oxide or antimony tin oxide

I have no idea. Do some internet searching and post the information you find, then ask people to comment.
