Silicone rubber, as an important polymer material, plays an indispensable role in modern industry and daily life. It is composed of elements such as silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, which form a unique three-dimensional network structure through specific chemical bonding, endowing it with a series of excellent properties. One of the most prominent characteristics of silicone rubber is its excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, which can maintain stable physical and chemical properties over a wide temperature range. From the freezing point at low temperatures to the molten state at high temperatures, it can exhibit good elasticity and sealing performance. This characteristic enables silicone rubber to be widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic and electrical fields, such as manufacturing key components such as seals, gaskets, and conduits, ensuring reliable operation of equipment in extreme environments.
In addition to its high and low temperature resistance, silicone rubber also has excellent resistance to oxidation, ozone, radiation, and good electrical insulation. These characteristics make silicone rubber perform well in outdoor environments, high radiation situations, and situations that require electrical isolation. For example, in power transmission and distribution systems, silicone rubber, as an insulating material, can effectively prevent current leakage and electric shock accidents. Meanwhile, the physiological inertness of silicone rubber also makes it an ideal choice in the medical field for manufacturing medical devices, artificial organs, drug delivery systems, etc., ensuring safety and comfort when in contact with the human body.
The preparation process of silicone rubber is relatively complex, but after years of development, a mature industrial chain has been formed. During the preparation process, the selection and ratio of raw materials, the control of polymerization reaction conditions, and the technical parameters of vulcanization molding all have a significant impact on the performance of the final product. With the advancement of technology, the research and application of new silicone rubber materials continue to expand, such as conductive silicone rubber, thermal conductive silicone rubber, self-healing silicone rubber, etc. These materials not only retain the excellent performance of traditional silicone rubber, but also endow new functional characteristics, meeting the diverse needs of different fields for material performance.
