Previous reviews on silicones in relation to adhesion have dealt with specific technologies such as adhesives, sealants, and coupling agents [12-17]. This review attempts to address the fundamental properties of silicones and to relate them to various aspects of adhesion technologies. The perspective taken in this review is from the point of view of a newcomer in the field of adhesion and silicones. 

Once cured, PDMS networks are essentially made of dimethylsiloxane polymeric chains crosslinked with organic linkages. The general and inherent molecular properties of the PDMS polymers are therefore conferred to the silicone network. Low surface energy and flexibility of siloxane segments are two inherent properties very useful in adhesion technology.
