Abstract

Curing reactions of linear vinyl terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) with a four functional hydride silane crosslinker at various stoichiometric ratios, were studied by wave propagation at ultrasonic frequencies. Longitudinal wave velocity was found to be sensitive to the covalent endlinking, and gel point in these systems.

The observed changes in longitudinal wave velocity during the reaction are governed by changes in the bulk modulus of the system.
