The improved thermal oxidative stability of silicone rubber by using iron oxide and carbon nanotubes as thermal resistant additives

Improvements in interfacial and heat-resistant properties of carbon fiber/methylphenylsilicone resins composites by incorporating silica-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes

“…Seen from Figure 3, the diffraction peak at 2θ = 26.12° is the typical Bragg peak of pristine CNTs and can be indexed to the (0 0 2) reflection of graphite. [40] After the reaction with TEOS, the strong peak at 26.12° decreases in intensity obviously. It is reported that if the regular stacks of graphite or graphite oxide were destroyed by exfoliation, their diffraction peaks would become weak or even disappear.…”

Fracture and thermal aging of resin‐filled silicone elastomers

“…The effects of thermal aging processes on the mechanical performance of silicones have been examined by the electronics community, where silicones are commonly used as an encapsulant material for protection against harsh environments. During use of an electronic device, temperatures can operate as high as for extended time periods, promoting thermal aging processes.…”

Synthesis of Zirconium-Containing Polyhedral Oligometallasilsesquioxane as an Efficient Thermal Stabilizer for Silicone Rubber

“…Smaller Mc means higher crosslinking density [9]. During the vulcanization of SR, the peroxide vulcanizing agent produces free radicals to initiate the cross-linking reaction of SR.…”

“…To overcome this disadvantage, it's necessary to prevent the random scission reaction of backbone and the oxidation of side chains. Many traditional thermal stabilizers such as metal oxide [7][8][9], graphene [10], carbon nanotube [11], and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) [12][13][14] were introduced into the SR. Among these additives, POSS shows great potential for improving thermal stability of the polymer due to its unique intramolecular hybridization, designable structure, and good thermal stability.…”
