Effect of micro- and nano-fillers on the properties of silicone rubber-alumina flexible microwave substrate

Short Review: Role of Metal Oxides as Filler in Polysiloxane Sheet Composite

“…The density of composites will increase linearly with increase volume of fraction of filler loading [20,21]. However, the density can be increased by increasing of electron irradiation dose on polysiloxane composite because irradiation effect on the macromolecular network by enhancing the interactions between nanoparticles and the elastomer matrix [21].…”

“…Silica is one of common ceramic filler used in polysiloxane composites and mechanical properties improves with types of silica [12] and treatment of silica significantly [21]. It is also clear that, the size of particle filler also give significant effect on the interaction between particle and polysiloxane matrix [20].…”

“…Significant properties commonly studied are thermal stability [18,22] and tensile strength [12,[20][21][22]. All the significant effect depends on types of the ceramic filler that are used to improve the polysiloxane properties with different application [15].…”

“…Polysiloxane sheet composite has been studied by various researchers using variety of ceramics as filler [12,[18][19][20][21][22]. Table 1 shows the summary of various ceramics usage as filler on polysiloxane composite.…”

“…Table 2 shows improved physical properties of polysiloxane composite by addition of ceramics filler. [20] Silica (SiO 2 )…”
