Rubber, methyl-vinyl silicone

The CCRI is a research centre affiliated to the Ministry of Chemical Industry. It has 6000+ employees and performs chemical engineering research and manufactures a wide variety of rubber, plastic resins and plastic products including epoxy resin, silicone resin, silicone rubber, methyl-vinyl silicone rubber, PVC cable material, PE industrial film, PE cable material, polyester film, PP sheet and PS sheet. 

Plasma and urine levels of the drug are determined by chromatographing the trimethyl-silyl derivative of dobutamine on a 6-foot column packed with 3.0% UC-W98 silicon gum rubber (methyl-vinyl) on Diatoport S operated at 260°C. The hydrogen flame detector is maintained at 280°C. Helium flow rate is 60 ml/min. The retention time of dobutamine derivative (TMS) under these conditions is 3.8 minutes. This method measures plasma levels as low as 1 ig/ml (4).

As a last example, we Illustrate the ring opening polymerization of octamethyltetraslloxane (D4) to yield polydlmethyl-slloxane. The linear polymer 1 Is the basis of both silicone oils at low molecular weights and silicone rubber at very high molecular weights (M, 3 500,000). Of course. In order to provide for vulcanization and enhance low temperature behavior, other units such as methyl-vinyl and possibly diphenyl are also Incorporated along the chain, as will be discussed later In this brief review and In...

As far as nomenclature, there is a standard system for naming the different grades of silicone rubber based on methyl, vinyl, phenyl, and fluorine content in accordance with ASTM D1418. Beyond that, there is no official, generally recognized system of classification for silicone rubber.

Not surprisingly, as the science of macromolecules emerged, a large number of synthetic polymers went into commercial production for the first time. These include polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), nylon 6.6, polyethylene, poly(vinyl chloride), styrene-butadiene rubber, silicones and polytetrafluoroethylene, as well as many other. From the 1950s onwards regular advances, too numerous to mention here, have continued to stimulate both scientific and industrial progress. 

Silicone rubbers are formed by an inorganic main chain of oxygen-silicon covalent bonds, with side substituents consisting of methyls, phenyls, vinyls, etc. The most commonly used is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) whose structure is given below ... 

These rubbers are based on atoms of silicon chains rather than carbon atoms. Their unique structure is responsible for their extreme temperature properties. The most common types of silicone rubbers are specfically polysilaxanes. The Si-O-Si bonds can rotate much more freely than the C-C bond or the C-O bond. So the silicone chain is much more flexible and less affected by temperature. Silicone rubber is vulcanised by the action of peroxides which crosslink the chains by abstracting hydrogen atoms from the methyl side groups, allowing the resulting free radicals to couple into a crosslink. Some varieties of polysiloxanes contain some vinyl methyl siloxane units, which permit sulfur vulcanisation at the double bonds. 

The longer the polymer chain is, the better is the resistance to compression set because of the improved ability to store energy. In Figure 8.3, the sealing compounds are NBR (nitrile rubber), EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene rubber), FVMQ (fluoro-vinyl-methyl [fluorosilicone]), VMQ (vinyl-methyl silicone), FKM (fluroelastomers), and FFKM (perfluoroelastomers).
