Summary
The degrees of recrystallizability of silicone release coatings with different crosslink densities have been determined via monitoring the recrystallization peak of the temperature scan on the Rheometrics-RMS-800 Spectrometer and DSC. As the crosslink density of the release coating increases, the recrystallization peak of silicone diminishes sharply indicative of the increasing constrains imposed by the high crosslink density which reduces the recrystallizability of the silicone. In addition, Tg of the silicone also increases, together with a lower recrystallization and melting temperatures.
