Reversible Dynamic Behavior of Condensation‐Cured Silicone Elastomers Caused by a Catalyst

Abstract This study demonstrates that dibutyltin‐dilaurate (DBTL), commonly used to catalyze condensation‐cured silicone elastomers, causes dynamic behavior in the network, which is attributed catalyst finding a way become part of elastomer network. Furthermore, it establishes by choosing an appropriate silanol‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HO‐PDMS‐OH) chain length, gelation system without cross‐linker. To best authors' knowledge, this first time DBTL shown, apart from catalytic effect, have ability act as
