Silicone rubber is widely used in most industries due to diverse advantages like heat stability, UV stability, durability, chemical resistance, environment friendliness, inertness and so on. But there is limitation to expand applications due to relatively weak rubber strengths such as tensile strength and tear strength, especially in fabric coating applications. The purpose of this study is to find influence of coating agent on performances of rubber and coated fabrics and their correlation according to different crosslinking densities of silicone rubbers. Addition cure type of silicones were formulated using crosslinked MQ-type silicone resin consisting of M (R₃SiO_1/2) and Q (SiO_4/2) and linear polymers. Raw materials used were; 1) linear vinyl endblocked polymers and vinyl functional MQ resin as main polymers, 2) linear silicone hydride polymers as crosslinkers, 3) platinum catalyst and 4) inhibitor to control curing speed. Rubber specimens were prepared to check mechanical strength using universal testing machine (UTM). Crosslinking density was calculated using Flory-Rhener equation using solvent swelling method. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS) were used to characterize rubbers. Consequently, it was found that physical properties of silicone rubbers and coated fabrics can be expected by crosslinking density of rubbers. Silicone rubber formulations that contain 20 ~ 30 wt% of vinyl MQ resin showed strongest balanced performances.

Polymers are the most commonly used di-electrics because of their reliability, availability, ease of fabrication and cost. The commercial and industrial demand for advanced polymeric materials which are capable of being used in harsh environment is need of the hour. The study of the effect of electron beam irradiation on polymeric materials is an area of rapidly increasing interest. This paper discusses the resultant beneficial effects of electron beam irradiation on the SiR-EPDM blend having 50:50 composition. The changes in mechanical and electrical properties of SiR-EPDM blend which are exposed to three different doses of electron beam radiation namely 5 Mrad, 15 Mrad and 25 Mrad are presented. The irradiated blends are analyzed for their electro-mechanical and physico chemical properties. The electrical changes induced by irradiation are investigated by arc resistance, surface resistivity and volume resistivity measurements as per ASTM standards. The mechanical changes are observed by the measurement of tensile strength and elongation at break. Physico chemical investigation has been done using the FTIR, in order to investigate the irradiation induced chemical changes.

본 논문에서는 상온 경화형 실리콘 접착제의 표면 특성, 열안정성, 접착력, 그리고 모폴로지 분석을 통하여 접착제의 내엔진 오일성 평가 및 고장분석을 시행하였다. 실험 결과, 엔진오일의 침투는 접착제 시편의 표면에서 중앙으로 진행되었으며, 열화시간에 따라 접착제 시편중에 오일의 함량은 점차 증가하였으며, 접착제의 Si-O-Si 결합은 점차 분해되었다. TGA 실험결과로부터 열분해는 접착제 시편의 표면과 밑 부분에서 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 상온 경화형 실리콘 접착제의 내엔진 오일 시험 후 접착제 시편의 인장강도, 신율, 접착력 등의 물성이 모두 현저하게 감소하였으며, 이는 엔진오일의 흡수와 열화에 의해 초기 접착제 성질을 많이 상실한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, SEM 분석을 통하여 접착제 시편의 파괴모드는 열화시간이 증가함에 따라 응집 파괴에서 계면 파괴로 나타남을 확인하였다.
