PHOTOCHEMICAL CROSSLINKING OF POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE POLYMERS

Abstract

Photochemical influence of the full light of DRT-1000 ultraviolet lamp on the high-molecular BRpolydimethylsiloxane rubber in inert atmosphere was investigated using the method of gel-sol analysis. The studies found that in these conditions crosslinking reaction of polymer is observed.
