A thermosetting silicone composition was prepared by mixing 100 parts by mass of the component (a) represented by the constituent unit ratio (SiO2)0.55((CH3)3SiO1/2)0.40((CH2=CH)(CH3)2SiO1/2)0.05, 50 parts by mass of the constituent unit ratio ((component (C) represented by CH 3)2SiO)0.9996((CH2=CH)(CH3)2SiO1/2)0.0004), 3 parts by mass of the organic peroxide (Kayaren-70 manufactured by KAYAKU AKZO corporation) as the component (D), and 150 parts by mass of toluene as the component (E).
The compositions obtained in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were poured into a frame made of Teflon (registered trademark) having a thickness of 2mm, and heated in the order of 60 ℃ for 1 hour, 80 ℃ for 1 hour, and 100 ℃ for 1 hour to volatilize the solvent, thereby producing a sheet. The obtained sheet was subjected to the following tests (1) and (2), and physical properties were confirmed. The results are shown in Table 1.
Test (1) after exposing the sheet to 120℃for 10 minutes, it was confirmed whether or not it was soluble in toluene.
In test (2), the sheet was cured at 150℃for 3 hours, and the appearance of the obtained cured product was observed to measure the hardness.
Appearance, visual observation of the presence or absence of cracks.
No crack (o), crack (x)
Hardness was measured using a durometer type D durometer manufactured by Ueshima Seisakusho co., ltd.
TABLE 1
As shown in Table 1, the sheets obtained in examples 1 to 4 were soluble in toluene even after heating at 120℃for 10 minutes, and remained uncured. Further, by heating at 150 ℃ for 3 hours, a cured product of high hardness was provided.
On the other hand, in comparative example 1, which is a curable composition obtained by hydrosilylation, the curable composition was cured by heating at 120 ℃ for 10 minutes even in the presence of the reaction controlling agent, and failed to remain in an uncured state. In comparative example 2 containing no component (a), the hardness of the cured product was significantly reduced, and in comparative example 3 containing no component (B), cracks were generated in the cured product.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments are examples, and all embodiments having substantially the same constitution and exhibiting the same effects as the technical idea described in the claims of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
