Different from condensation type liquid silicone rubber, addition type liquid silicone rubber has no by-products during vulcanization, small shrinkage, deep vulcanization and no corrosion to contact materials. It has the advantages of wide applicable temperature range, excellent chemical resistance and weather resistance, and can be easily adhered to various surfaces. Therefore, compared with condensation type liquid silicone rubber, addition type liquid silicone rubber develops rapidly. At present, it has been more and more widely used in electronic and electrical appliances, machinery, construction, medical treatment, automobile and other fields. 2、 Main components of addition liquid silicone rubber 1. Basic polymer The basic polymers used as additive liquid silicone rubber mainly include the following two kinds of linear polysiloxane containing vinyl. Their molecular weight distribution is wide, generally from thousands to 100000 to 200000. The most commonly used basic polymer for addition liquid silicone rubber is α,ω- Divinylpolydimethylsiloxane. It is found that the molecular weight and vinyl content of the basic polymer can change the properties of liquid silicone rubber. 2. Crosslinking agent The crosslinking agent used for addition liquid silicone rubber is organic polysiloxane with more than 3 Si-H bonds in the molecule, such as linear methyl hydrogen polysiloxane containing Si-H group, cyclic methyl hydrogen polysiloxane and MQ resin containing Si-H group. The most commonly used are linear methyl hydrogen polysiloxanes with the following structures. It is found that the mechanical properties of silicone rubber...
