TL;DR: This work proposes a liquid-metal-based triboelectric nanogenerator (LM-TENG) by employing Galinstan as the electrode and silicone rubber as the triboeLECTric and encapsulation layer, yielding outstanding device stability and outstanding performance values for TENGs.
Abstract: The rapid advancement of intelligent wearable electronics imposes the emergent requirement for power sources that are deformable, compliant, and stretchable Power sources with these characteristics are difficult and challenging to achieve The use of liquid metals as electrodes may provide a viable strategy to produce such power sources In this work, we propose a liquid-metal-based triboelectric nanogenerator (LM-TENG) by employing Galinstan as the electrode and silicone rubber as the triboelectric and encapsulation layer The small Young’s modulus of the liquid metal ensures the electrode remains continuously conductive under deformations, stretching to a strain as large as ∼300% The surface oxide layer of Galinstan effectively prevents the liquid Galinstan electrode from further oxidization and permeation into silicone rubber, yielding outstanding device stability Operating in the single-electrode mode at 3 Hz, the LM-TENG with an area of 6 × 3 cm2 produces an open-circuit voltage of 3545 V, transf

TL;DR: In this article, a critical evaluation of the chemical and physical mechanisms responsible for hydrophobicity loss and recovery is presented, where the authors evaluate the properties of silicone rubbers based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
Abstract: Water repellency, high surface resistivity, vandalism resistance, low density and good processability have made silicone rubbers based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) very attractive materials in housings for outdoor insulation. Their ability to recover hydrophobicity after oxida. tion or contamination is of paramount importance and this is the topic of this review. A critical evaluation of the chemical and physical mechanisms responsible for hydrophobicity loss and recovery is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, thin macromolecular layers bearing aldehyde functionalities were deposited onto silicone rubber, stainless steel, and paper surfaces, and the bactericidal properties of these surfaces were demonstrated by exposing them to Listeria monocytogenes.
Abstract: Silver nanoparticle thin layers were deposited onto formaldehyde-radio frequency (RF)-plasma-functionalized medical- and food-grade silicone rubber, stainless steel, and paper surfaces. The silver deposition was carried out under ex situ plasma conditions using the Tollen's reaction. Results from survey and high-resolution electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy investigations confirmed the presence of thin silver layers on the plasma-exposed and subsequently modified substrate surfaces. In addition, SEM and AFM demonstrated the nanoparticle-based morphology of the deposited layers. Our results showed that thin macromolecular layers bearing aldehyde functionalities can be deposited onto silicone rubber, stainless steel, and paper surfaces. The bactericidal properties of the silver-coated surfaces were demonstrated by exposing them to Listeria monocytogenes. No viable bacteria were detected after 12 to 18 h on silver-coated silicone rubber surfaces. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 1411–1422, 2004

TL;DR: A review on synthesis, general properties, applications and nanocomposites of silicone rubber can be found in this paper, where the authors also discuss the application of silicone elastomer in aerospace, munitions industry, automobile, construction, electric and electronics, medical and food processing industry.
Abstract: Silicone rubber’s special features such as “organosiloxanes polymer” has been originated from its unique molecular structure that they carry both inorganic and organic properties unlike other organic rubbers. In other words, due to the Si–O bond of silicone rubber and its inorganic properties, silicone rubber was superior to ordinary organic rubbers in terms of heat resistance, chemical stability, electrical insulating, abrasion resistance, weatherability and ozone resistance. With these unique characteristics, silicone rubber has been widely used to replace petrochemical products in various industries like aerospace, munitions industry, automobile, construction, electric and electronics, medical and food processing industry. Recently, these scopes of silicone applications have been expanding at a great speed by the demand of industries that want more reliable elastomer. This paper reviews on synthesis, general properties, applications and nanocomposites of silicone rubber.
