Shape Recovery in Viscoelastic Silicone Rubber and the Fractional Zener Model
Louis A Bloomfield
Viscoelastic silicone rubber (VSR) is a remarkable shape-memory solid. The material's polymer network retains a memory of its shape history, so its current and future shapes depend…

Rapid technique for preparing conductive graphene-borosilicone putty
Louis A. Bloomfield
When borosilicone putty is filled with graphene sheets, the result can be a "g-putty"--an electrically conducting putty that is exquisitely sensitive to deformation. In this work,…

Laminar Flow and Backrind Formation in Molding of Viscoelastic Silicone Rubber
Louis A. Bloomfield
When a thermoset polymer is cured at elevated temperature in a closed mold, thermal expansion can produce flaws in the finished product. Those flaws occur when rising internal pres…
