  2. Outline • Background/Objective • Synthesis of Polysiloxane series • 29Si NMR • 1H NMR • ATR • Synthesis of Silver-Filled composites • SEM • XPS • Preparation of Lap Shear Samples • Results • Conclusions • Future Work • Acknowledgements

  3. Objective • To achieve a series of functional polysiloxanes containing well-dispersed silver flakes • To determine a change in conductivity as a function of fatigue in silver filled polysiloxane composite • To monitor an decrease in conductivity as integrity of aircraft stress locations decreases. • Pendent electron donating groups result in specific interactions with metal fillers (Silver) • Complexation • Improve Dispersion Quality • Improve Adhesion • Optimize the percentage of polar functional groups that can complex with Silver particles. • Ensure proper dispersion between the polymer and the silver particles. • Understand “complexation”

  10. Synthesis of Silver-Filled Composites • STEP 1: Add Pt catalyst, crosslinking agent, then polymer • Manually mix the solution for 10-15 minutes, then degas in a vacuum chamber for 10-15 minutes. • STEP 2: Add silver particles • Mix in a vacuum chamber for 10-15 minutes, then degas in chamber 10-15 minutes. • STEP 3: Prepare thin films on glass slides for conductivity tests (Cured at 80°C overnight)

  17. Preparation of Lap Shear Samples • Clean polycarbonate sheets with isopropanol • Sand more than 1’ of some PC substrate • Sonicate in isopropanol for 5 minutes. • Clean with kimwipe and then rinse with isopropanol and wipe again . • Dry under vacuum at 80C for 30 minutes • Spread unfilled and filled samples on lapshear plates, covering 1 inch including copper tape. Gently press to remove any air pockets. • Cure them overnight at 80C.

  19. Conclusions / Future Work • Polysiloxane precursors to functionalization were prepared via ring opening equilibrations with controlled concentrations of methylhydridosiloxy units. • Polyorganosiloxanes with controlled concentrations of polar nitrile functional group were prepared via functionalization (hydrosilation) reactions with reactive prepolymers. • The hydrido groups of nitrile substituted polyorganosiloxanes were hydrosilated to yield lightly crosslinked elastomeric networks with varied concentrations of polarity • Stable microcomposite silver dispersions were prepared with 10%CN and 27%CN polyorganosiloxanes. These will be further dispersed with different volume fractions of silver to achieve the inflection point in electrical conductivity. • Could achieve a decently quantified resistance with 27%CN polymer on copper-taped glass slide. After further analysis of ATR data, will modify Pt. Catalyst amount and disperse series of silver-filled dispersions. • 54%CN might not have been optimally dispersed with various volume % Ag and proved to be too viscous of a polymer. • Will imbed newly formed silver filled polysiloxane networks into vinyl ester mold as another form of measuring conductivity as a function of applied fatigue.
