ELASTOMERIC AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLY-m-CARBORANYLENESILOXANES. V. THERMAL STABILITY OF SILOXANE ELASTOMERS

Abstract

The thermal stabilities of elastomers based on poly(dimethyl silozane), poly(trifluoropropyl methyl silozane) and poly-m-carboranyl siloxane, represented by SiB-2, were compared by the technique of chemical stress relaxation in nitrogen. Filled and unfilled elastomers were tested in the temperature range of 300-350C. The SiB-2 elastomers showed chemical relaxation times which were 50-100 times greater than the other elastomers, illustrating their outstanding thermal stability.
