Ceramifying polymer materials have been developed to replace conventional fire protection materials for their excellent qualities. In this paper

ceramifying silicone rubber was prepared by blending silicone rubber and glass frits. The effects of glass frits on the mechanical and electrical properties were investigated. SEM was used to observe the surface and cross-section of ceramic residue after fired. The results showed that the prepared material has desirable ceramifying properties and the compact

hard ceramic residue could resist high temperature over 1000 ℃. As addition of glass frits increased

fluidity of silicone rubber became worse

tensile strength and elongation decreased to some extent

while shore A hardness increased

both volume and surface resistivity firstly increased and then decreased.
