Abstract: Dynamic rheological properties of poly(methyl vinyl)siloxane(PMVS) filled with ultratra silica (SiO2) were analyzed on an advanced rheometric expansion system(ARES) at 25 ℃ by varying the strain (γ) and the frequency (ω). The results show that an incorporation of 5% SiO2 into PMVS at 25 ℃ could be enough to impact a significant increase on the storage modulus (G′) of the uncured system, which is believed to be caused by the strong interactions among silica fillers. Meanwhile, γ dependence of G′ related to Payne effect was observed upon increasing γ amplitude, and no distinct “second plateau” was observed even the content of SiO2 approached 20%. We owe this phenomenon partly to the surface esterification of silanols and partly to the unvulcanized PMVS.
