Cerium oxide is generally used as an antioxidant additive but remains unsatisfactory. In order to obtain better antioxidant effect on improving the thermal stability of FSR, a kind of cerium-containing polymethylphenyl silicone(PSI-Ce) was synthesized and the structure was verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1HNMR). Due to the homogeneous dispersion on molecular scale, PSI-Ce imposed much better antioxidant effect than the commercial CeO2 did, no matter from isothermal degradation at 320 ℃ or thermal-oxidative ageing test at 230 ℃. In particular, after ageing for 72 h,FSR/PSI-Ce(2 phr) maintained 82% of tensile strength and 63% of elongation at break, in comparison to the corresponding values of 48%and 42% for FSR/CeO2(2 phr). Moreover, 2 phr PSI-Ce was equivalent to 0.046 phr CeO2 according to cerium element conservation.展开更多
