Abstract
Methyl Phenyl and diphenyl silicone rubbers were synthesized from octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane (D4), methylphenyl cyclosiloxane, octaphenyl cyclotetrasiloxane, etc. Compared with the commercial methylvinyl silicone rubber, the high and low temperature resistances of methyl vinyl silicone rubber were studied in this paper. The results showed that the introduction of phenyl groups can improve the thermal properties of silicone rubber, and the thermal stability of diphenyl silicone rubber is better than that of methyl phenyl silicone rubber. But there is little difference of mechanical properties in high temperature environment for three silicone rubber. DMTA analysis showed that there were still a small amount of crystals in diphenyl silicone rubber, while methylphenyl silicone rubber was amorphous rubber. The mechanical properties at low temperature indicated that the tensile strength of diphenyl silicone rubber was 4.1Mpa higher than that of methylphenyl silicone rubber at -70 °C due to the existence of low-temperature crystallization.
