23
Q

what is the setting reaction of condensation cured silicone rubber?

A

cross linking of hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane chains

24
Q

what is the catalyst in condensation cured silicone rubbers setting reaction? what is the cross linking agent?

A

catalyst - tin compound

cross linking agent - alkyl silicate

25
Q

what is a by product of condensation cured silicone rubbers setting reaction? what can it cause?

can potentially make it dimensionally unstable

26
Q

what does cross linking in the condensation cure setting reaction cause?

A

increases materials viscosity and elastic properties

27
Q

paste one of silicone rubber (condensation) is?
