The curing method can be either vulcanized or catalyzed.
Liquid silicone rubber thermal conductivity.
There are different types depending on functional groups in the structure and curing mechanisms.
2 2 4 silicone rubber sir silicone rubber sir is an elastomer composed of silicone containing silicon carbon hydrogen and oxygen in the form of a polymer.
By infusing rubber silicone with carbon black a small amount of conductivity can be imparted into the material while still retaining its superior physical properties.
Silicones are polymers with a si o si backbone.
Jia long lin et al.
Untreated silicone in gel or liquid form will convert to solid after curing.
Although thermal conductivity increases with higher viscosities it becomes nearly constant at viscosities above 100 mm 2 s.
Lasance articles design materials compounds adhesives substrates test measurement elastomer rubber technical data thermal conductivity in the may 2001 issue this column discussed the thermal conductivity of unfilled plastics.
November 1 2001 clemens j.
Main applications are flexible seals o rings etc.
For many years the.
Silicone rubbers are often one or two part polymers and may contain fillers to improve properties or reduce cost.
4 thermal conductivity of neat silicone rubber and its composites the measurement results of the thermal conductivity of neat silicone rubber and its composites were plotted in fig.

Song in progress in rubber nanocomposites 2017.
Carbon infused silicone rubber is preferred to meta filled organic rubber because of overall better mechanical performance.
Silicone rubber unfilled 0 2 glass 1 1 stainless steel 15 aluminium 220 table 1 thermal conductivity of common substances as can be seen a typical unfilled silicone rubber has a thermal conductivity of approximately 0 2 w m k and even a highly filled silicone elastomer can barely exceed 0 4 w m k.
When the material contains a high amount of inorganic fillers the conductivity can be improved twice which makes the material adequate for thermal interface sheets and heating rollers.
4 as a function of the weight fraction of the fillers.
The thermal conductivity of silicone rubber is higher in comparison with common organic rubbers.
