Based on the mechanism of cellular formation, the cellular formation and postcuring process were separated in this paper. First, the foamed sheets were rested at room temperature for 20 min. Then, the foamed sheets were fully vulcanized in a plate vulcanizing press at 165 °C for 8 min. A novel method of preparing microcellular silicone rubber foams without surface defects has been successfully created.
