Revisiting the Thermal Transitions of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Elastomers: Addressing Common Misconceptions with Comprehensive Data

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
An important characteristic of silicone elastomers is their ability to maintain their properties over a wide temperature range. This results from the Si─O bond's high flexibility and thermal stability, causing a very low glass transition temperature (Tg)
