Novel Shear-Thinning of Aged PDMS/Fumed Silica Admixtures and Properties of Related Silicone Elastomers
Fumed silica filler has long been used to structurally reinforce silicone elastomers. Unfortunately, the combination of as little as a few weight percent of untreated fumed silica nanoparticles [uFSN] with a siloxane polymer, such as PDMS, forms a difficult to process waxy solid admixture that even...
