Selection of elastomeric membranes for the removal of volatile organics from water [PDF]
, 1993 A wide range of homogeneous elastomeric membranes has been prepared using dicumylperoxide as a general cross-linking agent. The membranes have been used for both equilibrium sorption measurements and steady-state pervaporation experiments to study ...

Chemically defined, ultrasoft PDMS elastomers with selectable elasticity for mechanobiology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Living animal cells are strongly influenced by the mechanical properties of their environment. To model physiological conditions ultrasoft cell culture substrates, in some instances with elasticity (Young's modulus) of only 1 kPa, are mandatory.

Mechanical deformation of elastomer medical devices can enable microbial surface colonization
Scientific Reports, 2023 Elastomers such as silicone are common in medical devices (catheters, prosthetic implants, endoscopes), but they remain prone to microbial colonization and biofilm infections.

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2015 One prominent method of modifying the properties of dielectric elastomers (DEs) is by adding suitable metal oxide fillers. However, almost all commercially available silicone elastomers are already heavily filled with silica to reinforce the otherwise ...

Measured limits to contamination of optical surfaces by elastomers in vacuum [PDF]
, 1995 We have monitored the reflectivity of mirrors that were exposed to a fluoroelastomer (3M-Fluorel 2176) and a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (RTV-615) in vacuum. The 95% confidence limit on the decrease of mirror reflectivities was less than
