The tutorial aims to equip the beginners in silicone research with the knowledge to formulate
recipes and process elastomer networks, targeting specific properties related to soft …

Solution-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR) and high cis-polybutadiene rubber
(BR) are usually used as matrix and silane coupling agent (SCA) modified silica as the filler …

Wide application of hybrid silica aerogels is limited by the costly preparation process and
poor mechanical properties due to the inadequate initial connectivity at the interparticle …

This study reports a new strategy to fabricate a thermally super-insulative and flexible hybrid
silica aerogel. A new generation of polymeric precursors was first synthesized for hybrid …

Among many biomaterials, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), a photocurable protein, has been
widely used in 3D bioprinting process owing to its excellent cellular responses …

Aerogels derived from pre-polymerized vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS) precursor with nano-
size particles are known to exhibit outstanding mechanical and insulation properties …

Conductive liquid silicone rubber-based composites were prepared through incorporation of
fumed silica (FSiO 2) and polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) modified MWCNTs (P-MWCNTs) …

The incorporation of nanofillers into polymeric matrix has been proven to be an effective
route to reinforce their mechanical properties, and the usage of binary fillers that combines …

In this work by adopting coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, we focus our
attention on investigating the effect of the chemical coupling between polymer and …

Silica (SiO2) modified by in situ solid‐phase grafting was used for natural rubber (NR)
reinforcement. The physical mechanical properties and Payne effect of natural rubber …
