Silicone rubber, an elastomeric material is inert, stable, highly resistant to the extreme work environments.
Addition-curing solid
silicone rubbers provided by the company include Elastosil R plus 4001, said to be a highly versatile silicone available with either an extremely hard or extremely soft durometer A value.
All solid
silicone rubber product groups will benefit from these expansion measures.
WACKER is currently also evaluating the option of building a plant for solid
silicone rubber at its US-based site in Charleston, Tennessee.
Recently, a few literatures have been paid on preparing
silicone rubber foams with scC[O.sub.2].

Silicone rubber is a remarkable material which is flexible in every sense of the word and can be ideal for medical applications.
Traditionally, multi-component designs utilizing
silicone rubbers were limited to the combination of heat-stable resins, such as PA or PBT, due to the molding temperatures that were required to vulcanize the silicone.

Silicone rubber is easy to work with, is durable and waterproof, can work in a wide range of temperatures, and most importantly, it can be formed to create intricate, lifelike detail," said Ivan Mini, global market manager for Xiameter brand from Dow Corning.
Key words: dynamic properties,
silicone rubber, storage modulus, loss modulus
In addition, they are looking at alternative materials such as aluminum PCB substrates and soft
silicone rubber pads as a method to improve heatsink designs.
