Overview

Commercial silicone-based products range from those entirely composed of silicones, to products where silicone is a small, but key component. Silicones are widely used in the polymer industtry as elastomers, pressure sensitive adhesives, in water-borne systems, biomedical products surface and interfacial agents, personal care products, processing aids, electronics encapsulents, and other applications. Silicones and Silicone-Modified Materials examines recent academic and technological developments of this growing industry.

<br> Gathers 37 papers presented at the Spring 1998 symposium held in Dallas. Among the topics are hydrogenated and deuterated cyclic poly(dimethylsiloxanes), advances in non-toxic silicone biofouling release coatings, NMR relaxation studies of reinforced poly(dimethylsiloxane) melts, low modulus fluorosiloxane-based hydrogels for contact lens application, and calculation of a reaction path for KOH-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization. Other topics include polycarbonate-polysiloxane-based interpenetrating networks, silicon-terminated telechelic oligomers by acyclic diene metathesis chemistry, block copolymers containing silicone and vinyl polymer segments by free radical polymerization, and oxygen gas barrier PET films formed by deposition of plasma-polymerized SiOx films. --SciTech Book News<p><br> Wide ranges of topics including the preparation, properties and industrial applications of silicone-containing materials are the focus of these articles.
