Mechanical properties of silicone rubber composed of diverse vinyl content silicone gums blending

Silicone rubber composed of diverse vinyl content silicone gums blending were prepared and their mechanical properties were investigated. The silicone rubber composed of diverse vinyl content silicone gums blending whose crosslinking points were concentration distribution exhibited better tearing strength and higher tensile modulus in comparison with single vinyl content gums which were mean distribution. The average molecular weight (Mc) of the silicone rubber composed of diverse vinyl content blending are lower than that of single vinyl molar content 0.16% which was calculated by swelling equilibrium method. The viscoelastic behavior indicated the silicone rubber composed of 0.04% and 0.3% vinyl molar content gums blending possessed perfect flexibility at low temperature because it had the lowest glass transition temperature (Tg), and this sample had the largest storage modulus and loss modulus.
