Surface-modified silicone roofing materials and related systems and related methods

A roofing system comprising:

• a roofing substrate;
• and
• a silicone roofing membrane,
• wherein the silicone roofing membrane is located on the roofing substrate;
• wherein the silicone roofing membrane comprises:
• a plurality of particles;
• a silicone coating;
• a substrate;
• and
• an adhesive layer;
• wherein the substrate comprises at least one of a mesh, a fabric, a scrim, a woven, a non-woven, or any combination thereof;
• wherein the substrate is located between the silicone coating and the adhesive layer,
• wherein the silicone coating covers the entirety of a surface of the substrate;
• wherein the silicone coating directly contacts the surface of the substrate;
• wherein the adhesive layer is located between the substrate and the roofing substrate;
• wherein the adhesive layer adheres the silicone roofing membrane to the roofing substrate;
• wherein the plurality of particles covers at least a portion of a surface of the silicone coating;
• wherein each of the plurality of particles has a surface,
• wherein at least a portion of the surface of the plurality of particles is exposed to an environment.

A method of installation comprising:

• obtaining a roll of a silicone roofing membrane,
• wherein the silicone roofing membrane has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface,
• wherein at least a portion of the second surface of the silicone roofing membrane contacts at least a portion of the first surface of the silicone roofing membrane;
• wherein at least a portion of the second surface of the silicone roofing membrane is an outer surface of the roll;
• wherein the silicone roofing membrane comprises:
• a plurality of particles;
• a silicone coating;
• a substrate;
• an adhesive layer;
• and
• a release liner;
• wherein the substrate comprises at least one of a mesh, a fabric, a scrim, a woven, a non-woven, or any combination thereof;
• wherein the substrate is located between the silicone coating and the adhesive layer,
• wherein the silicone coating covers the entirety of a surface of the substrate;
• wherein the silicone coating directly contacts the surface of the substrate;
• wherein the adhesive layer is located between the substrate and the release liner;
• wherein the release liner covers at least a portion of the adhesive layer;
• wherein the plurality of particles covers at least a portion of a surface of the silicone coating;
• wherein each of the plurality of particles has a surface;
• wherein the first surface of the silicone roofing membrane is the surface of the silicone coating;
• wherein the second surface of the silicone roofing membrane is a surface of the release liner;
• unrolling the roll of the silicone roofing membrane;
• removing the release liner from the silicone roofing membrane so as to expose the adhesive layer;
• and
• contacting the adhesive layer of the silicone roofing membrane to a roofing substrate so as to adhere the silicone roofing membrane to the roofing substrate;
• wherein at least a portion of the surface of the plurality of particles is exposed to an environment.
