16
Q

what is the function of hydroxyl polydimethylsiloxane chains in the setting reaction of silicone rubbers (condensation curing)?

A

cross linkage of chains increases viscosity and elastic properties

17
Q

what is the function of alkyl silicate in the setting reaction of silicone rubbers (condensation curing)?

A

cross linking agent

18
Q

what is the function of tin compound in the setting reaction of silicone rubbers (condensation curing)?

A

catalyst

19
Q

compare the set time of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) to polysulphides

A

set time of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) is less than polysulphides

20
Q

compare the elasticity of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) to polysulphides

A

elasticity of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) develops more rapidly than polysulphides

21
Q

compare the tear resistance of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) to polysulphides

A

tear resistance of silicone rubbers (condensation curing) is adequate but not as good as polysulphides

22
Q

are silicone rubbers (condensation curing) hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

A

hydrophobic

23
Q

what is the elastic recovery of silicone rubbers (condensation curing)?

A

good elastic recovery

24
Q

silicone rubbers (addition reaction) is catalysed by what?

A

platinum

25
Q

explain the setting reaction of silicone rubber (addition reaction)

A

in one paste the methyl group CH3 is replaced by a hydrogen
in the other past the methyl CH3 is replaced by a vinyl group CH2=CH
platinum catalyst connects the vinyl and hydrogen group forming - CH2 - CH2 -

26
Q

polyethers are made of what 2 pastes

A

base paste
a catalyst paste

27
Q

the base paste of polyethers is composed of? 2

A

imine terminate prepolymer

inert filler

28
Q

the catalyst paste of polyethers is composed of? 2

A

a catalyst of aromatic Sulphonic acid ester

paste forming oils and fillers

29
Q

what type of reaction is the setting reaction of polyethers?

A

cationic ring opening addition polymerisation

30
Q

what are the steps of the setting reaction of polyethers? 4

A

activation - aromatic sulphonic acid ester becomes ionised

initiation - reacts with prepolymer

propagation - process repeated so more chains form

termination - all reactants are consumed

31
Q

compare the tear resistance and elastic properties of polyethers to silicones

A

similar

32
Q

what limits the use of polyethers?

A

lack of heavy body / putty

33
Q

are polyethers hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

A

hydrophobic - issue in humid environments
