The effect of cross-linker ratio on the physical properties of SY-1 silicone elastomer / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the physical properties of SY-1 silicone elastomer with various ratios of cross-linker to base. Methods: The ratios of cross-linker to base were set at 0.5 %、1 %、 1. 5 %、 2 % 、2. 5 % respectively while other conditions were kept same, then the major physical properties of the elatomer were studied with a tensile tester and ASTMD 2240 method. Results: The elongation(%) due to tension, tensile strength (MPa), laceration strength (kN/m) and hardness (A) of SY-1 silicone elastomer with the ration of 0. 5% of cross-linker to base were 540?47,4. 3?0. 28, 14. 4?2.4 and 18. 0?3. w; those of that with 1% 440 ?54,4.0?0.32,18. 2?3.1 and 24. 0?3. 61 with 1.5% 430?51, 4.1?0. 29, 13.6?2.2 and 25.0?2.1; with 2% 350?46, 2.5?0. 33, 9.0?2.1 and 28.0?1.9; with 2.5% 280?36, 2.0?0. 3, 11.0?2.5 and 29.0? 2.8, respectively. Conclusion: The physical properties of SY-1 silicone elastomer with a ratio of 1% of crosslinker to base are more suitable for prothesis fabrication.
