Abstract

Viscoelastic polymers exhibit strong energy dissipation in the glass transition region due to the motion of chain segments, yet the damping temperature ranges are quite narrow and the damping effect is poor at low frequencies. Here, we report two PDMS polymer-fluid-gels prepared by traditional curing and solvothermal polymerization, both of which exhibit excellent energy-dissipation capacity with loss factor larger than 0.7 at 1Hz both covering 255K (-55 ℃ to 200 ℃), and larger than 1.0 at 1 Hz covering 134.7K and 146.7K, respectively, exceeding all the literature reports. Furthermore, solvothermal polymerization realizes large cross-linking meshes in which polymer fluids is free to stretch with less restriction and have longer relaxation time, conducive to low-frequency damping. The lower the frequency, the more pronounced is the relative increase in damping, with the ratio of the two being greater than 4 times in the measuring low-frequency range. Moreover, the gels can absorb impact in extreme environments and protect raw eggs from breaking at temperatures as low as -50 ℃ when dropped from a height of 2 m.

Keywords: polymer-fluid-gels, energy-dissipation, solvothermal polymerization, large cross-linking meshes
