Abstract:
This study explores the influence of masterbatch on the crosslinking of silicone elastomer. Siloxane-based composites were synthesized to optimize the final material properties. A masterbatch containing vinyl-functional siloxanes and silicon(IV)oxide as a filler was introduced to enhance mechanical properties and network topology. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for chemical structure analysis, while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) assessed the thermal stability. The addition of masterbatches significantly improves the properties of silicone materials and makes them ideal for numerous medical applications.

Key words:
composites, masterbatch, mechanical properties, siloxane elastomers
