Polydimethylsiloxane-Epoxy Copolymer for Industrial Applications

The copolymers of functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and epoxy resin were prepared by varying the concentration of PDMS with an objective to produce products with high-performance properties. These copolymers were cured using polyamide as a curing agent and characterized by FT-IR. The thermal properties and completion of curing were checked by DSC. The copolymers were evaluated for electrical and mechanical properties. The dielectric...
