Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) based on silicone rubber (SiR) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), as a class of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), are extensively applied in various fields due to their excellent performance such as remarkable mechanical properties, easy processability, recyclability, and so on. However, it is quite difficult to incorporate functional fillers into thermoplastic silicone vulcanizate (TPSiV) without largely influencing their mechanical performance due to the rather high content of SiR and delicate balance between structure and properties. Herein, some efforts are made to introduce functional filler such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into TPSiVs.
