ABSTRACT

Boron oxide particles were incorporated to silicone rubber-based mixes containing fumed silica (reinforcing filler) and reference mineral fillers – aluminum hydroxide, wollastonite, calcined kaolin, mica (phlogipite) and surface modified montmorillonite with dimethyl-dihydrogenatedtallow quaternary ammonium salt. Acidic character of boron oxide, which can disturb the peroxide curing process, was compensated by addition of magnesium oxide. The influence of boron oxide particles on properties of composites was determined and mechanism of their ceramization process studied.
