Embedded NiTi Wires for Improved Dynamic Thermomechanical Performance of Silicone Elastomers
The extraordinary properties of shape memory NiTi alloy are combined with the inherent viscoelastic behavior of a silicon elastomer. NiTi wires are incorporated in a silicon elastomer matrix. Benefits include features as electrical/thermal conductivity, reinforcement along with enhanced damping perf...

The extraordinary properties of shape memory NiTi alloy are combined with the inherent viscoelastic behavior of a silicon elastomer. NiTi wires are incorporated in a silicon elastomer matrix. Benefits include features as electrical/thermal conductivity, reinforcement along with enhanced damping performance and flexibility. To gain more insight of this composite, a comprehensive dynamic thermomechanical analysis is performed and the temperature- as well as frequency-dependent storage modulus and the mechanical loss factor are obtained. The analyses are realized for the composite and single components. Moreover, the models to express the examined properties and their temperature along with the frequency dependencies are also presented. |
