Incompletely condensed tetra-silanol-phenyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TOPO) was synthesized first and then copolymerized with hydroxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HPDMS) as a cross linking agent to prepare room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber (TOPO–PDMS).

Methoxyl-capped MQ silicone resin (MMQ) was first synthesized by the hydrosilylation of vinyl-containing MQ silicone resin and trimethoxysilane and then used in condensed room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber as a self-reinforced cross-linker. Results show that modified silicone rubber exhibits good light transmission. Compared with unmodified silicone rubber, the hardness, tensile strength and elongation of MMQ at the break are increased by 26.4 A, 2.68 MPa and 65.1%, respectively. In addition, the characteristic temperature of 10% mass loss is delayed from 353.5 °C to 477.1 °C, the temperature at maximum degradation rate is also delayed from 408.9 °C to 528.4 °C and the residual mass left at 800 °C is increased from 1.2% to 27.7%. These improved properties are assigned to the synergistic effect of the rigid structure of MMQ, the formation of a dense cross-linking structure in polymers and the uniform distribution of MMQ cross-linking agent in RTV silicone rubber.

A series of α-amine ketoximesilanes were prepared and used as auto-catalyzed cross-linkers in one component room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber.
