- Silicone | Definition, Composition, Properties, Uses, Facts . . .
Silicone, any of a diverse class of fluids, resins, or elastomers based on polymerized siloxanes, substances whose molecules consist of chains made of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms Silicones have a wide range of commercial applications, from lubricating greases to biomedical implants
- Silicones - American Chemistry Council
Silicones are flexible and resist moisture, chemicals, heat, cold and ultraviolet radiation Products made with silicones take on these and other important properties so they are more stable, more aesthetically pleasing, easier to use or apply, and longer lasting
- Silicones - Essential Chemical Industry
Silicones are synthetic polymers with a silicon-oxygen backbone similar to that in silicon dioxide (silica), but with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms by C-Si bonds
- What Are Silicones? - Global Silicones Council
“Silicone” is a generic term referring to a class of synthetic polymers that are based on a framework of alternating silicon and oxygen (siloxane) bonds with at least one organic group attached to the silicon atom via a direct carbon-silicon bond
- Silicones - GeeksforGeeks
Silicones are a family of synthetic polymers that are composed of repeating units of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms The basic structure of silicones consists of a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms
