Peroxide-cured high-temperature vulcanized （HTV） silicone rubber was prepared by using allyl-capped carbosilane dendrimers, in which the core molecule is Si（CHaCH=CH2）4, as the cross-linker. It showed that this kind of allyl-capped carbosilane dendrimer improved the mechanical properties of silicone rubber.     

Surface modification of calcium sulfate whisker using thiol-ene click reaction and its application in reinforced silicone rubber

The hemihydrate calcium sulfate whisker (HCSW) was modified by γ-(methacryloxy)propyl trimethoxy silane (KH570) and trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) via wet modification and thiol-ene click reaction, and then the unmodified and modified HCSW were added into α, ω-dihydroxy polysiloxane (DPS) matrix to prepare silicon rubber composites. After the dual-surface modification, the surface of HCSW was transformed to hydrophobic, the hydration of whisker was obviously improved, and the whisker dispersed more evenly in the polymer. The mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, and the medium resistance of the silicone rubber composite were compared. The tensile test shows that the silicone rubber shows better mechanical properties after adding the modified whiskers, among which HCSW-KH570-SH has the most significant reinforcement effect. Moreover, DPS/HCSW-KH570-SH shows the best medium resistance in toluene, gasoline, and water. The addition of modified whiskers can improve the storage modulus of silicone rubber significantly, while DMA and DSC show that the addition of modified whiskers can reduce the glass transition temperature of silicone rubber. The bound rubber indicates that the interface interaction between HCSW-KH570-SH and silicone rubber is the best.

A novel phase-change composites based on silicone rubber containing energy-storage microcapsules

A novel phase-change composites based on silicone rubber (MVQ) containing n-octadecane/poly (styrene-methyl methacrylate) microcapsules were successfully obtained by mixing energy-storage microcapsules into MVQ matrix using three preparation methods. The effect of microcapsules content on thermal property of the composites was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The mechanical properties of the composites prepared by three methods were also investigated. The morphology and thermal properties of the composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermal response. Thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were excellent when the microcapsules were added into room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber with 2 phr (per hundred rubber) content and cured at room temperature. The composites were proved to have good energy-storage performance with 67.6 J g^?1 enthalpy value.     

Research on high temperature friction properties of PTFE/Fluorosilicone rubber/silicone rubber

Silicone rubber (MVQ) has excellent heat resistance, but poor high temperature friction stability, which limits its application in the field of high temperature sealing. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is self-lubricating, but its compatibility with rubber is relatively weak. In order to improve the high-temperature friction property of silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) was used as a compatibilizer, and PTFE was added to MVQ by mechanical blending. The friction and wear properties of PTFE/FVMQ/MVQ composites at different temperatures were studied. The results show that compared with MVQ, the mechanical properties of PTFE/FVMQ/MVQ composites was basically unchanged, the coefficient of friction was hardly affected by temperature, and the amount of wear decreased with increasing temperature. PTFE/FVMQ/MVQ composites showed excellent high-temperature abrasion resistance. The high-temperature wear mode was mainly changed from abrasive wear to adhesive wear. The molten layer formed by high-temperature friction can prevent air from directly contacting the surface rubber, which inhibited rubber surface oxidation reaction process.

An investigation of dynamic mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of housing materials for outdoor polymeric insulators

The present paper reports the results about a study of mechanical, thermal, dynamic mechanical and electrical properties of housing (weather shed) materials for outdoor polymeric insulators. Silicone rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) and alloys of silicon-EPDM are known polymers for use as housing in high voltage insulators. The result of dynamical mechanical measurement shows that the storage modulus of blends enhances with increase EPDM in formulation. It can be seen from the result of TGA measurement that initial thermal degradation of silicone rubber improves by the effect of EPDM in blends. The blends of silicone-EPDM show good breakdown voltage strength compared to silicone rubber. Surface and volume resistance of silicone rubber improve by EPDM content. The mechanical properties of EPDM such as strength, modulus and elongation at break improve by silicone.     

Theoretical investigation of polymer molecular structure influence on dielectric properties and mechanical properties

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technologies have explosive development in the field of energy harvesting and self-powered sensing. As the key element of triboelectric devices, dielectric polymers have obtained much attention in recent years. The dielectric properties of polymer determine the output performance of TENG. In this paper, we take silicone rubber as an example of dielectric polymers, to study the properties of molecular structure influence on the dielectric properties and mechanical properties by the molecular dynamics simulation method. The free volume fraction, dielectric constant, and mechanical properties of silicone rubbers with different branch chains were calculated. The dielectric constant is highly related to the free volume distribution and the dipole moments of silicone rubbers with different amounts of branch chains. For fewer branch chains silicone rubber, the free volume distribution contributes most to the dielectric constant; for more branch chains silicone rubber, the dipole moment dominates the dielectric constant. Therefore, the silicone rubber ratio has a great influence on the dielectric constant of silicone rubber. With the increase of temperature, the dielectric constant of 2-chain silicone rubber increases at first and then decreases, and the maximum value is obtained near 300 K. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature when silicone rubber is used as a dielectric material. This work can be a guide for improving the dielectric properties of silicone rubber, and it provides a new approach to the optimal design of high-performance triboelectric nanogenerators.     

The improvement of thermal stability and adhesion of silicone rubber composites modified by phenolic epoxy resin

The phenolic epoxy resin (F51) was siliconized by KH550 and the product was named as FKS. A hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) which was modified with FKS was prepared. The siliconization reaction ensured a segment of siloxane on the side chain of F51. FT-IR and ¹H-NMR were employed to confirm the chemical structure of FKS. Morphology observations revealed that the enhancement of mechanical properties of the silicone rubber systems can be attributed to good compatibility between FKS and silicone rubber matrix. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the residual yield at 800?°C of silicone rubber composites increased significantly when compared with that of neat HTPDMS. The mechanical properties demonstrated that tensile strength and elongation at break of silicone rubber system increased distinctly after modification, especially when 30 phr siliconized F51 were added to the silicone rubber. Shear strength was improved gradually with the addition of FKS. These above observations emphasize the vital effect of FKS on the behavior of modified HTPDMS.

In vitro drug release from silicone rubber–polyacrylamide composite

Composite materials containing drugs were prepared from silicone rubber and hydrogel. Cross linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel particles were incorporated into a silicone rubber to enhance the hydrophilicity and drug release capacity of silicone rubber as a matrix. Progesterone and Thymol Blue were used as a hydrophobic and hydrophilic drug model, respectively. Different amounts of polyacrylamide (PAAm) were mixed with the drugs and uncured silicone rubber at room temperature. The composite matrices were formed using a compression molding press and cured by thermal and γ-irradiation curing methods. In vitro drug release behavior of composites and their physical and mechanical properties were investigated. The results indicated that the hydrophilic character of silicone rubber was more pronounced with increasing the amount of PAAm. Also, a significant effect on the drug release profiles was observed. The γ-irradiation curing method improved mechanical properties of composites and affected the drug release profiles. It was found that the amounts of released progesterone from γ-irradiated samples increased in comparison with the thermally cross linked composite since released Thymol Blue was reduced.

Effects of functional graphene oxide on the properties of phenyl silicone rubber composites

Graphene oxide (GO) was treated with two types of surfactants, i.e., silane coupling agent (KH550) and 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), incorporated into phenyl silicone rubber at a low concentration (≤0.2 wt%), and cured by the room temperature vulcanized method. The effects of functional graphene oxide on the dielectric behaviour, thermal conductivity, optical transmittance and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the particle size changed after modification and that the modified GO dispersed well in the phenyl silicone rubber. The composites with MDI modified GO exhibited better electrical insulation and lower light loss in the ultraviolet–visible region than the composites with KH550 modified GO. However, composites filled with KH550 modified GO present better thermal conductivity.     

Effects of rubber type on the curing and physical properties of silica filled rubber compounds

As environmental regulations are getting stricter, tire industries for automobiles have shown much interest in substituting silica for conventional carbon black partially or entirely. To take full advantage of silica as fillers for rubbers, it is essential to find a reasonable rubber system that shows an excellent performance with silica reinforcement. Therefore, in this study, several different rubber compounds comprising the same amount of silica were prepared with several different rubber systems, respectively. The processability, curing characteristics, and mechanical and viscoelastic properties of the rubber compounds were investigated to analyze the performance of the rubber compounds as tire tread materials. Among the rubber compounds studied, SBR1721 compound comprising natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) with high styrene content was considered the most appropriate for application to tire tread materials.
