The bonding reaction between silicone oil and silicone rubber refers to the chemical reaction phenomenon that occurs between silicone oil and silicone rubber under specific conditions. Silicone oil is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Si-O-Si and is commonly used as a lubricant and insulating material. Silicone rubber, on the other hand, is an elastomer composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms and is often used for sealing, filling, and bonding.
When silicone oil and silicone rubber come into contact, due to their similar chemical compositions, some special chemical reactions occur. First, the silicone oil penetrates into the tiny pores of the silicone rubber, filling the internal structure of the silicone rubber. Thus, an intimate physical connection is formed between the silicone oil and the silicone rubber.
Secondly, the chemical composition of the silicone oil interacts with the silicon atoms on the surface of the silicone rubber, forming a lubricating film similar to that of the silicone oil. This lubricating film acts as a buffer and friction reducer between the silicone oil and the silicone rubber, enabling them to bond better together.
In addition, the bonding reaction between silicone oil and silicone rubber is also influenced by external conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. Under appropriate conditions, the bonding performance of silicone oil and silicone rubber can be further enhanced.
