Dynamic Mechanical Properties of a Maxillofacial Silicone Elastomer Incorporating a ZnO Additive

open access: yesJournal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2010
The main objective of the current study was to investigate the dynamic mechanical properties of a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone incorporating different fractions of zinc oxide (ZnO) after indoor and outdoor photoaging. Forty-eight samples were produced by adding different amounts of ZnO into a commercial maxillofacial silicone (EPISIL-E).
