DESCRIPTION

Presentation by Professor Tim Osswald, Director of SIMTEC Silicone Parts Technical Advisory Board for Silicone Elastomers US 2011. ABSTRACT: Polymers are both solid and liquid at the same time, regardless of the temperature. However, during processing and usage they appear to be either in the liquid or solid state. This is due to the density and the mobility of the molecule chains of the polymer. Silicone rubber has particularly good properties for applications that require both absorption as well as transmission of vibrations. This paper presents the fundamental behavior of liquid silicone rubber, addressing the time-temperature dependence of storage and loss moduli, as well as their development during cure. The whole range between viscous and perfectly elastic behavior, and their interaction is demonstrated with measurements and simple models.

Conclusions

State of matter: A polymer is a solid and a liquid at all times, temperatures, and degrees of vulcanization

Temperature: Softening Temperature and cg at Tan = 1

Time scale: Softening Temperature and c is timeTime scale: Softening Temperature and cg is time (frequency, cooling rate/heating rate) dependent

Pressure : Softening Temperature and cg are timedependent (another story)
