Silicon sulfide rubber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of rubber, in particular to vulcanized silicone rubber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The silicone rubber has good mechanical properties, excellent air permeability, physiological inertia, weather resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, electrical insulation performance and the like, and is widely applied to various fields of automobile accessories, electric and electrical equipment, building engineering, medical appliances, daily necessities and the like. Since silicone rubber has good electrical insulation properties, it can cause static electricity accumulation when it comes into contact with or rubs against other materials. If the accumulated static electricity is not eliminated in time, the static electricity can be adsorbed, dust is absorbed, spark discharge is caused, and even the harm of burning, explosion and the like is caused. Therefore, the silicone rubber material with excellent and durable antistatic property can effectively avoid unsafety caused by static electricity in the using process. Generally, methods for increasing the antistatic performance of silicone rubber mainly include adding conductive carbon black, surface coating or adding a surfactant, adding conductive metal or metal oxide powder, and the like, but the durability is poor, and the requirements of scenes in different fields cannot be met.
