ABSTRACT
α-Pinene-modified triethoxysilane (α-PTES) was synthesized by hydrosilylation in the presence of Karstedt's catalyst. The structure of α-PTES was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Under the catalysis of an organotin catalyst, α-PTES, which was the cross-linking agent, and the hydroxy-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) matrix were utilized to prepare the room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. Morphology, thermal performance, and mechanical properties of the modified silicone rubber were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, and a universal testing machine. Because of the strong rigidity of the ring structure of α-pinene, the thermal and mechanical properties of modified silicone rubber were improved greatly than those of the silicone rubber, and the cross-linking agent of which was methyltriethoxysilane. Results showed that the tensile strength and the break at elongation increased by 69.2 and 125%, respectively, and they are nearly doubled compared to the unmodified silicone rubber.
