Silicone Rubber. These polymers are based on chains of siUcon rather than carbon atoms, and owe thek temperature properties to thek unique stmcture. The most common types of siUcone mbbers are specifically and almost exclusively the polysdoxanes. The Si—O—Si bonds can rotate much more freely than the C—C bond, or even the C—O bond, so the siUcone chain is much more flexible and less affected by temperature (see Silicon COMPOUNDS, silicones).

The spectrum of silicon based polymers is enriched by high tech ceramics like silicon nitride and carbide, respectively. These materials are produced by pyrolysis of appropriate polymeric precursors such as polysilanes, polycarbosilanes and polysilazanes (preceramics). These synthetic ceramics display a certain analogy to silicates, having SiC, SiN, or Si(C,N) as structural subunits instead ofSiO.

A method of manufacturing rubber articles by pouring a compounded latex into an absorbent hollow mould the skin of rubber thus formed is removed, dried and vulcanised. The term is also apphed to the pouring into moulds of liquid polymer systems based on silicone or polyurethane elastomers. 

Finally, silicon-based polymers, especially with hydrogen lateral groups, are very interesting, but they are not yet explored sufficiently. There are many unknown properties in these materials, including the details of the photopolymerization process and a-Si formation from polysilane. Additional academic work in this field is expected and necessary to make the solution processing of silicon devices more convenient and reliable.
