  2. Silicone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

    As a low-taint, non-toxic material, silicone can be used where contact with food is required. Silicone is becoming an important product in the cookware industry, particularly bakeware and kitchen utensils. Silicone is used as an insulator in heat-resistant potholders and similar items; however, it is more conductive of heat than similar less ...

  3. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

    Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used in industry, and there are multiple formulations.

  4. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

    The silicone polymers are often made by reacting dimethyl dichlorosilane with water. [4] Linear dimethylpolysiloxane polymer reaction. Fillers such as acetic acid can provide a fast cure time, while oxides and nitrides can provide better thermal conductivity. Tack-free times are typically on the order of minutes, with cure times on the order of ...

    where is the vacuum permittivity, is the dielectric constant of the polymer and is the thickness of the elastomer film in the current state (during deformation). Usually, strains of DEA are in the order of 10–35%, maximum values reach 300% (the acrylic elastomer VHB 4910, commercially available from 3M, which also supports a high elastic energy density and a high electrical breakdown strength.)

  6. Electroactive polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroactive_polymer

    Dielectric EAPs are materials in which actuation is caused by electrostatic forces between two electrodes which squeeze the polymer. Dielectric elastomers are capable of very high strains and are fundamentally a capacitor that changes its capacitance when a voltage is applied by allowing the polymer to compress in thickness and expand in area due to the electric field.

  7. Silicone oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_oil

    A silicone oil is any liquid polymerized siloxane with organic side chains. The most important member is polydimethylsiloxane . These polymers are of commercial interest because of their relatively high thermal stability and their lubricating properties.

  8. Silicone resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_resin

    Silicone resin with R = CH 3, H or OH. Silicone resins are a type of silicone material which is formed by branched, cage-like oligosiloxanes with the general formula of R n SiX m O y, where R is a non-reactive substituent, usually methyl (Me = −CH 3) or phenyl (Ph = −C 6 H 5), and X is a functional group: hydrogen (−H), hydroxyl (−OH), chlorine (−Cl) or alkoxy (−O −).

  9. Silastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silastic

    Silastic-brand silicone elastomers have a range of applications. In the automotive industry they are used for making gaskets, spark plug boots, hoses and other components that must operate over a broad temperature range and resist oil and coolants.
