The Antibacterial Activities of Ag/$Nano-TiO_2$ Modified Silicone Elastomer [PDF]
We studied the ability of Ag/$nano-TiO_2$ to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth on silicone elastomer material. Ag/$nano-TiO_2$ silicone elastomer was prepared with different concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%.

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