The curing of a commercial ethoxymethyl-phosphosiloxane at different temperatures and under various gas ambients was characterised using NMR, thermoanalytical techniques, and FTIR spectroscopy. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DTG (Differential Thermo Gravimetry) were employed to characterize the reactions that occur during thermal treatments in O2 or N2 atmospheres. FTIR spectroscopy and CP (Cross Polarization) 133C - NMR were used to detect the presence of the hydroxyl and organic groups in the cured samples. The experimental results identified three different temperatures (400,580,700°C) that define important stages of the curing reaction. In particular, for annealing at temperatuires up to 580°C in 02, DSC, DTG and FTIR spectra showed the elimination of the organic groups. However, when the annealing was carried out in N2 up to 700°C, these groups are retained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
