Fig. 6: Mechanical properties and potential applications of the HNP-PDMS series.

Compression modulus as a function of A temperature (fixed pressure: −0.1 MPa) and B pressure (fixed temperature: 125 °C). The error bars show the standard error of the mean, computed from three samples. C Fourier transform infrared spectra of HNP- and S-PDMS. Comparison of the D breaking strength and E toughness for different HNP- and porous PDMS elastomers prepared via conventional methods. The molecular structures represent the boric acid derivatives used in the different HNP-PDMS elastomers. F Molecular chain interaction diagram when a benzene ring is introduced. G Comparison of the stress–stretch curves of HNP-PDMS@bPdBA, cured under varying pressures and temperatures, and P-PDMS@Sugar. H Comparison of the stress–stretch curves for different elastomers. I Comparison of six critical parameters for different elastomers. J Comparison of mechanical performance of HNP-PDMS@C and S-PDMS. K Dispersion of carbon fibers within the through-pores of HNP-PDMS@C. L Application example of HNP-PDMS@C.
