The main components of silicone rubber are silicon and oxygen, which make up the vast majority of silicone rubber's composition. Silicon is one of the most common elements on earth, it has excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, can well improve the physical properties and durability of silicone rubber. Oxygen in silicone rubber plays a role in stabilising and enhancing the structure of silicone rubber, and can play a role in optimising the performance of silicone rubber.
In addition to silicon and oxygen, there are other elements or compounds in silicone rubber. For example, silicone rubber can be added to silicone, hydroxyl, amide, ester and other functional monomers to improve the material properties, with the role of improving the surface strength of the rubber, aging resistance, processability, as well as optimising the rubber viscosity, hardness and heat resistance. The low molecular weight of these additives can be well combined with the silicone rubber matrix to form a stable and tightly structured material system.
In short, the main components of silicone rubber are silicon and oxygen, these two elements become the basis of silicone rubber, can constitute a dense material structure, while other additives can significantly improve the functionality of silicone rubber doping, so that it becomes a high-performance engineering materials. With the development of science and technology, silicone rubber will have a wider range of applications, for the development of various fields to inject new vitality.
