Wow can't believe this is almost a two decade old thread!
To crosslink vinyl functionalized PDMS, I think dicumyl peroxide (1%) can be used, though I haven't tried this out myself. Does anyone know an alternative cure via UV route?
Thanks. Best,

Hi everyone,
Just stumbled across this post - hoping its still active.
I'm looking to make a silicone oil and silicone rubber mix to produce a bimodal MW distribution. My plan is to mix a functionalized silicone oil and standard low MW PDMS and crosslink only the functionilzed bit. Hoping that I can retain around 50% low
MW and 50% high MW.
Is this possible? What's the easiest way to cross link functionalized PDMS while minimizing impurities? Could anyone point me in the direction of some publications?
Thanks,
Stuart Bacon
