The effect of the cooling rate on the crystallization of PDMS was investigated in a different study (DOLLASE T. et al., Effect of interfaces on the crystallization behavior of PDMS, to be published in Interface Science). We found that under isothermal conditions crystallization is observed at T ≤ -60 °C.
