Silicon based polymer systems engineering silicone

Table 13.3 Formulation reference data for each engineering silicone elastomer system studied categorized by base polymer, final network modality, filler type/loading and cure chemistry.

Although this method was developed initially for macroscale structures, it has become common to see it applied to micro- and nanosensors (Quinn et al 2006). Though, as these devices range in sizes at the sub-100 pm level, many are based on a silicon material system. Nonetheless, new materials and techniques driven by the ability to perform precision engineering are being explored and developed (Qian and Zhao, 2002). Today, materials from different types, from metals to ceramics, polymers or composites, may have suitable attributes to be applied into micro- and nanosensors.
