Control of Mullins stress softening in silicone elastomer composites by rational design of fumed silica fillers

open access: yes, 2021
The influence of fumed silica as reinforcement filler is investigated on the Mullins stress softening in composite silicone elastomers. Especially, the impact of surface area, loading level, surface chemistry, and structure modification of fumed silica ...

Improvement of Biocompatibility of Silicone Elastomer by Surface Modification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
γ-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) was grafted to silicone due to emulsion polymerization to induce Si-OH groups, in order to provide silicone with bioactivity spontaneous deposition of apatite in body fluid and to improve cytocompatibility ...

Reprogrammable liquid-metal/NdFeB/silicone composite magnetic elastomer

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
Programming the patterned magnetization profile on the magnetic elastomer can enable the magnetic soft robot to produce controlled deformation. But the magnetization profiles are usually unchangeable, which leads to the single function of magnetic soft ...

Role of uncrosslinked chains in droplets dynamics on silicone elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report an unexpected behavior in wetting dynamics on soft silicone substrates: the dynamics of aqueous droplets deposited on vertical plates of such elastomers exhibits two successive speed regimes.
