Silicone rubber is produced through the vulcanization of linear polyorganosiloxanes with crosslinking agents and reinforcing fillers. Its development dates back to the 1940s, with industrial production initiated by foreign countries and later adopted in China in the early 1960s.
Modification for Enhanced Performance: To address limitations such as low tensile and tear strengths, and poor acid-base resistance, extensive modification efforts have been undertaken. This includes copolymerization with other monomers or polymers and the incorporation of reinforcing fillers.
Emergence of Novel Varieties: Technological advancements have spurred the development of novel silicone rubber types, featuring high strength, high tear resistance, low compression set, and specialized properties like heat resistance, cryogenic stability, flame retardancy, and thermal conductivity. These varieties have further expanded silicone rubber's application scope.
