Abstract
The polydimethylsiloxane/nano-graphite (PDMS-NG) nanocomposites were prepared via a two rolled mixing mill and subjected to characterization using techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), stress-strain analysis during elongation, as well as thermal properties including Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The transition temperature was observed to be below -70°C for PDMS nanocomposites reinforced with Nano-Graphite (NG). The thermogram from the thermo-gravimetric analysis indicated that at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50% weight loss, the temperatures for PDMS nanocomposites were higher compared to unfilled PDMS. These findings suggest a substantial improvement in the thermal stability of PDMS-NG nanocomposites.
