Summary
Thermolysis of iron carbonyl dissolved in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) networks was found to greatly increase the modulus and toughness of the elastomers. Similarly good reinforcement was obtained in other PDMS networks filled with a ferrite, when it was coated with a silane, for example one of the coupling agents commonly used to improve adhesion in composites.
