1 Introduction to silicone
-1824: tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4); 1863: tetraethylsilane; 1871:diethyldiethoxysilane
1901- 1931:foundation of organosilicon chemistry
1940s: became commercial
- Basic repeating units: siloxane; PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane): most common silicone
R can be different
-Have unique properties, possible use as fluids, emulsions, compounds, resins, elastomer
- Widely used in a lot of application
In aerospace industry (low- and high temperature performance)
In electronic field: Electrical insulator, semi conductor
In construction: Sealants, adhesives, water proof coatings (due to long-term durability)
Widely used in personal care, pharmaceutical, medical device application (excellent biocompatibility)
Silicone Chemistry and nomenclature
Example: Trimethylsiloxy: most common
M: Si connected with 1 oxygen atom D: Si connected with 2 oxygen atoms T: Si connected with 3 oxygen atoms Q: Si connected with 3 oxygen atoms

2.2.Silicone elastomer
•Cross-linking with radicals
- For high consistency silicone rubber (extrusion or injection)
- Initiator: peroxide (radicals forming)
•Cross-linking by condensation
- Mostly for silicone caulks, sealants, silicone adhesives for medical devices
- Catalyst needed
- By products
•Cross-linking by addition
- Catalyst: Pt or Rh metal complexes
- No by products
- For molded parts
•Elastomer filler
- To enhance the strength and modify several properties of silicone elastomer
- Fillers: titanium oxide, barium sulphate, pigments, fumed silica (most favorable) but needs surface modification (with silane)
- Processing:: two roll mill, twin-screw extruder, Z-blade mixer

Preparation
•Melt Spinning
•Wet spinning
•Electrospinning
Melt spinning:
-Typically used with thermoplastics -Yarn can be further processed
Size of spun fiber: 10 µm (multifilaments)
-500 µm or more (for monofilament)
Electrospinning:
- For very fine fiber
- Use electrostatic field and high voltage (5-30 kV)
- Fiber diameter: 1 µm-100 nm

Construction
•Nonwovens
-Is a textile structure produced directly from fibers without the intermediate step of yarn production -Fibers: bond or interlocked together by chemical, or thermal action or by using adhesive or solvent; oriented random or in one or more directions
•Woven fabrics:
-Textile configuration where the primary structural yarns are oriented at 90o to each other
- Plain, twill, satin weaves
-Water permeability should be controlled (50-350 ml cm-2.min-1)
•Knits
-Made by interloping yarn in horizontal row and vertical columns of stitches
•Braids

- Containing ether covalent bonds produced by simple reaction of one or more comonomers
- Containing physical cross-linked from entanglements, association bond such as hydrogen bonds or strong Van der Waal interaction between chains
- Have received significant attention for biomedical applications
- Classification:
Based on preparation: homopolymer hydrogels, copolymer hydrogels, multipolymer hydrogels, interpenetrating polymeric hydrogels
Based on ionic charge: neutral, anionic, cationic or ampholytic hydrogels
Based on physical structural feature: amorphous (chain are arranged randomly), semicrystalline (charcterized by dense regions of crystallites) hydrogels, hydrogen- bonded or cpmplexation structure (may be responsible for the three-dimetional structure formed) hydrogels
-Structure:
Connection points of several chains: junction (tetrafunctional cross-linked), multifunctional junction, physical molecular entanglements
Possible a junction is an association of polymer chains caused by van der Waal forces
