The cellular morphology and mechanical properties of the foam/solid alternating multilayered silicone rubber materials were systematically studied.
Results show that both the storage modulus (E0) and the loss modulus (E00) are not affected by temperatures far from Tc and Tm. During cooling, these two moduli increase sharply close to the Tc for both materials, i.e. from 80 C for the unfilled silicone and from 60 C for the filled one.
We investigated the dielectric properties and mechanical moduli of two silicone rubbers, each with a different curing system, and in combination with silicone additives.
It was also found by analysing the filler network and aggregate morphology that the inhomogeneous cross-linked network led to an improvement in the dispersion of silica in the rubber and a significant improvement in the
Silicones are polymers with a Si-O-Si backbone. There are different types depending on functional groups in the structure and curing mechanisms. Key properties include thermal stability, chemical stability, electrical insulation and low toxicity. Main applications are flexible seals, o-rings etc.
It was also found by analysing the filler network and aggregate morphology that the inhomogeneous cross-linked network led to an improvement in the dispersion of silica in the rubber and a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of silicone rubber.
The viscoelastic behavior indicated the silicone rubber composed of 0.04% and 0.3% vinyl molar content gums blending possessed perfect flexibility at low temperature because it had the lowest glass transition temperature (Tg), and this sample had the largest storage modulus and loss modulus.
The variation in the storage modulus (M?) and the loss modulus (M) was studied in this investigation as a function of aging time (cross-linking time), while frequency remains
The curves of storage modulus versus loading frequency for silicone rubber at different temperatures are shown in Figure 5 a. The storage modulus E′ represents the energy stored in the material during deformation due to elastic deformation.
These properties can be evaluated through measurement of the glass transition and melting temperatures using thermal analysis, in addition to the crystallinity and elastic modulus.

As shown in the figure, the value of the storage modulus E′ of the silicone rubber specimen varies from 0.13 to 24.59 MPa with temperature and frequency. The variation law of the storage modulus E′ of the material with temperature and frequency is consistent with the results of Sawai , Placet , and others.

Introduction
In general, for viscoelastic solid materials, the storage modulus E′ increases with the increase of test frequency . As the test frequency increases, the molecular chain segment motion of the silicone rubber specimen lags behind the change in external force and the internal consumption decreases.
The mechanical properties of silicone rubbers can be regulated by designing the cross-link density and cross-linking structure, and altering the molar contents of vinyl in the side groups of methyl vinyl silicone rubber (MVQ) leads to different cross-linking structures and cross-linking densities in the vulcanized rubber.
Associating molecular structure and mechanical properties is important for silicone rubber design. Although silicone rubbers are widely used due to their odourless, non-toxic, and high- and low-temperature resistance advantages, their application and development are still limited by their poor mechanical properties.
