Combined roles of temperature and humidity on cure of a silicone elastomer

A study of the cure kinetics of a one-part water-scavenging silicone elastomer was carried out under conditions of controlled humidity and temperature using rectangular bars subjected to oscillatory torsional shear. Characteristic cure times were obtained from Hsich model fits to the storage modulus...
