1. High-temperature volatile matter control technology
The volatilization problem of phenyl silicone oil in high-temperature environment directly affects its application performance and life, and volatile matter needs to be controlled by technical means. The main control technologies include:

Molecular structure design optimization
Increasing the phenyl content: Increasing the phenyl mole fraction of phenyl silicone oil can improve its high temperature resistance and thermal stability and reduce volatility. For example, silicone oil with a phenyl mole fraction of 50% can be used for hundreds of hours at 300-350°C after adding stabilizers.
Introducing long-chain structure: By designing long-chain alkyl or branched structure, the intermolecular force is increased and volatility is reduced.
Nanoparticle modification
Thermal conductive nanoparticles: such as boron nitride, carbon nanotubes, etc., can improve the thermal conductivity of phenyl silicone oil, accelerate heat transfer, and avoid volatilization caused by local overheating.
Barrier nanoparticles: such as graphene, clay, etc., reduce oxygen penetration through physical barrier effect, inhibit oxidative degradation, and reduce the volatilization rate.
Cross-linking and networking technology
Chemical cross-linking: By introducing cross-linking agents (such as hydrogen silicone oil and vinyl silicone oil), a three-dimensional network structure is formed to limit the movement of molecular chains and reduce volatility.
Physical cross-linking: Use physical effects such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds to enhance molecular interactions and improve thermal stability.
Additive synergy
Antioxidants: Such as hindered phenols and amine antioxidants, which can capture free radicals and delay the thermal oxidation process.
Inhibitors: Inhibit molecular chain breakage and reduce the generation of volatile small molecules.

2. Environmental assessment
The environmental protection of phenyl silicone oil needs to be evaluated from the aspects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions, biodegradability, toxicity, etc.:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions
Low volatility design: Through molecular structure optimization and nano-modification, the volatilization of phenyl silicone oil at high temperature is reduced, and VOCs emissions are reduced.
Closed system application: A closed circulation system is used in industrial applications to avoid leakage of volatiles.
Biodegradability
Degradability of phenyl silicone oil: Compared with traditional silicone oil, the phenyl structure of phenyl silicone oil may reduce its biodegradability, but it can be improved by introducing degradable functional groups (such as ester groups and ether groups).
Environmental impact: The cumulative effect of phenyl silicone oil in the environment needs to be evaluated to ensure that it complies with environmental regulations.
Toxicity assessment
Acute toxicity: Phenyl silicone oil is generally of low toxicity, but its toxicity changes after high-temperature volatilization need to be verified.
Long-term exposure risk: The long-term impact on operators and the environment in industrial applications needs to be evaluated.
Compliance with environmental regulations
REACH, RoHS and other regulations: Ensure that phenyl silicone oil and its modified products meet international environmental standards and avoid the use of hazardous substances.
Recyclability: Develop recyclable phenyl silicone oil to reduce resource waste.

3. Technical challenges and future directions
Technical challenges
Dispersibility and stability: The dispersibility and long-term stability of nanoparticles need to be further improved to avoid performance degradation caused by agglomeration.
Cost and scale: The production cost of high-performance phenyl silicone oil is high, and the process needs to be optimized to achieve large-scale production.
Future Direction
Green synthesis technology: Develop solvent-free, low-energy synthesis processes to reduce environmental impact.
Multifunctionality: Combine flame retardant, self-healing and other functions to improve the comprehensive performance of phenyl silicone oil.
Bio-based materials: Explore the synthesis of bio-based phenyl silicone oil to improve environmental protection.
