Creating Unique Viscoelastic Materials The combination of the flexible PDMS backbone and the crosslinkable pendant vinyl groups allows PVMS to be formulated into unique materials like plastogels. These are soft, coherent gels that exhibit both plastic and elastic characteristics.
View MoreMethyl Hydrogen Silicone Fluid serves as a powerful coupling agent, forming durable bonds between inorganic materials (glass, metals, minerals) and organic polymers (epoxies, polyurethanes). The mechanism is twofold: the Si-H groups hydrolyze to form silanols (Si-OH), which then condense with hydroxylated inorganic surfaces to create stable Si-O-Si or Si-O-Metal bonds.
