Table 1.
Amount of reagents used to synthesize elastomers A1‐A4 and B1‐B3 and key properties of the resulting materials including T g, Young's modulus at 10% strain (Y 10%), elongation at break, and permittivity at 100 kHz (ε'). The amount of initiator tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide (TBPH) was kept constant at 25 µL (0.92 mol%)
