Investigation of Metallo(organo)siloxane-Polydimethylsiloxane Composites with a High Metallosiloxane Component...

A representative series of functional branched metallosiloxane oligomers was used to obtain polydimethylsiloxane-based composites highly filled with a metallosiloxane component. Physical and mechanical characteristics of compositions obtained strongly depends on metallosiloxane structure and composition. It is shown that it is possible to regulate the strength and elastic properties of the systems under consideration within wide limits, as well as to influence the morphology of the material. The resulting materials are rather thermo-oxidatively stable and can also maintain high mobility of polydimethylsiloxane chains.
