Low-Temperature-Meltable Elastomers Based on Linear Polydimethylsiloxane Chains Alpha, Omega-Terminated with Mesogenic Groups as Physical Crosslinker: A Passive Smart Material with Potential as Viscoelastic Coupling. Part II—Viscoelastic and Rheological Properties

Low-Temperature-Meltable Elastomers Based on Linear Polydimethylsiloxane Chains Alpha, Omega-Terminated with Mesogenic Groups as Physical Crosslinker: A Passive Smart Material with Potential as Viscoelastic Coupling. Part II—Viscoelastic and Rheological Properties

Rheological and viscoelastic properties of physically crosslinked low-temperature elastomers were studied. The supramolecularly assembling copolymers consist of linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastic chains terminated on both ends with mesogenic building blocks (LC) of azobenzene type. They are...
