Dehydrocoupling reactions, i.e. reactions involving elimination of H2 between two E-H bonds, provide a clean route to E-E bonds within the main group. The products afforded from these reactions have applications in organic synthesis and materials chemistry, and in addition the H2 released during these reactions can also be useful as an energy source. Previous methods for dehydrocoupling involve both thermal and transition metal catalysed routes but recent developments have shown that main group compounds can be used as catalysts in these reactions. This tutorial review will focus on the development of main group catalysed dehydrocoupling reactions as a route to heteronuclear element-element bonds.

“…Metal oxide-lled dielectric elastomers come in a wide range of formulations, ranging from minor additions of silicon dioxide to commercial silicone elastomers (such as Sylgard 184) through to major additions to both commercial 35 and in-lab formulated elastomers. A common problem is that the addition of llers in high concentrations is required to achieve signicant improvements, but at the same time, the elastomers lose their long-term performance, due to the introduction of various non-elastic phenomena from ller-ller and ller-matrix interactions, such as the Payne and Mullins effect.…”

Cheap, high-performance dielectric elastomers are in high demand from industry concerning new products based on dielectric elastomer transducers. However, formulating an elastomer that fulfils all the requirements for dielectric elastomers is difficult and, first and foremost, not cheap. In this article, we explore the use of a cheap and abundant metal oxide filler, namely ZnO, as a filler in silicone-based dielectric elastomers. The electro-mechanical properties of the elastomer composites are investigated, and their performance is evaluated by means of figures of merit. Various commercial silicone elastomers and a self-formulated silicone elastomer are utilised as elastomer matrices, the effects of which on the final properties of the elastomer composite are investigated.

Surface modification of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) by silane coupling agents and the ultraviolet-C (UV-C) aging behavior of silicone rubber (SiR) incorporated with the modified TiO 2 NPs were investigated in this work. The SiR samples incorporated with TiO 2 NPs displayed excellent stability against the UV-C radiation. In order to improve the dispersion of TiO 2 NPs in the SiR matrix, the surface of TiO 2 NPs was modified with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and 3-trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate, respectively. The surface modification of TiO 2 NPs was characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The dispersion stability of the pristine TiO 2 NPs and surface silane-modified TiO 2 NPs was evaluated in an organic solvent (toluene). Effect of surface modified TiO 2 NPs on the UV-C aging behavior of SiR was evaluated in terms of the change of surface morphology, tensile properties, hardness, crosslinking density, and surface microstructure before and after the UV-C aging. The results showed that surface modification of TiO 2 NPs with silane coupling agents could improve the dispersion of TiO 2 NPs in the SiR matrix. Moreover, the SiR with modified TiO 2 NPs showed an improved aging resistance to the UV-C radiation, compared with the samples with pristine TiO 2 NPs.
