Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Environmentally Benign Silicone Foam Filled with Wollastonite

摘要: In recent times, polymeric foams have been popularly used in various applications. To meet the demand for these applications, polymer with excellent mechanical and thermal properties are required. particular, silicone foam has gained significant attention owing to its superior low density. this study, of filled wollastonite were investigated. A maximum tensile strength 98.3 kPa was obtained by adding 15 phr wollastonite. The specific gravity did not exhibit a marked difference up 10 phr, but it increased substantially above Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that both amount residue decomposition temperature. morphologies observed scanning electron microscopy.
