RTV Silicone Chemistry. There are two basic cure chemistries used by RTV sihcones the acetoxy-based and the alkoxy-based cure systems. Acetoxy-based RTV sihcones were first commercialized in the early 1960s (422,423). The general chemical reactions of these first-generation products are shown in Figure 8. 

The basis of modem silicone chemistry was, however, laid by Professor F. S. Kipping at the University College, Nottingham, between the years 1899 and 1944. During this period Kipping published a series of 51 main papers and some... 

The surface of the substrate, the silicone/substrate interface, and the bulk properties of silicones all play significant and influential roles that affect practical adhesion and performance of the silicone. The design of silicone adhesives, sealants, coatings, encapsulants or any products where adhesion property is needed requires the development chemist to have a thorough understanding of both silicone chemistry and adhesion phenomena. 

In all the applications where silicones are used, the design of the polymer reactivity and the composition of the formulation require the development chemist to thoroughly understand both silicone chemistry and adhesion phenomena. 

We have attempted to relate the basics of silicone chemistry to applications where adhesion is an important property. These applications cover a vast industrial arena that does not make a review of this sort easy. Instead, we focused on the fundamental aspects of silicone physics and chemistry and related them to adhesion and adherence properties. We have attempted to use a logical structure to help the reader understand silicone adhesion. Adhesion and cohesion have been considered as they both determine the ultimate performance of an adhesive joint.

This fundamental discovery dramatically affected the whole chemistry of main-group elements. Subsequently, a series of new compounds with silicon element multiple bonds has been introduced. Within only a few years, stable silenes (silaethenes with a Si = C double bond) [8-11], silaimines Si = N [12-14], and silaphosphenes Si = P [15] were synthesized. As a pacemaker, silicon chemistry has exerted a strong influence on further areas of main-group chemistry a variety of stable molecules with Ge = Ge [16], P = P [17], As = As [18], P = C and P = C [19-22] bonds were subsequently isolated, and systems with cumulated double bonds P = C = P [23-25] are also known today. 

Nevertheless, silica gel is the material of choice for the production of the vast majority of LC stationary phases. Due to the reactive character of the hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica gel, various organic groups can be bonded to the surface using standard silicon chemistry. Consequently, the silica gel surface can be modified to encompass the complete range of interactive properties necessary for LC ranging from the highly polar to almost completely dispersive.

Today two directions of research are of interest On the one hand, investigations on the reactivity of basic systems are important to elucidate the typical" Si=E-multiple bond properties, in particular with respect to their use as synthons in organo silicon chemistry without being hampered in their synthetical potential by bulky substituents in this context, a comparison on their reactivity with the carbon analogues is still attractive. On the other hand, the isolation of new stable unsaturated silicon compounds and their structure determination continues to be of interest for quite a number of research groups worldwide. 

Silicon and phosphorus generally form rather weak bonds, consequently in phosphorus chemistry, silyl substituents are mainly used as a leaving group. In silicon chemistry, phosphorus-based substituents are less common, though this has changed in the last two decades due to novel concepts in molecular chemistry (prominent examples are [/BuSi-P]4 [1] and R2Si=PR [2]) and in materials sciences.

This brief review has shown that the transition metals and their compounds can play a very useful role in ceramics-directed silicon chemistry. Transition metal complexes find important applications as catalysts as well as stoichiometric reactants, and the metals themselves have found more direct application in the synthesis of silicon-containing ceramics and ceramic composites. 

New dimensions were found in silicon chemistry with the possibility of replacing some or all oxygen atoms with other atoms or groups. Partial replacement with hydrocarbon groups in the middle of this century led to the important silicones. 

Our interest in silicon chemistry quite naturally led to a study of the hydrosilation reaction, the addition of the Si-H group across an olefin or an acetylene. This reaction is one of the most useful methods of making silicon-carbon bonds and is an important industrial process. Typically, homogeneous catalysts based on platinum, rhodium or ruthenium are used, and while very efficient, they are not recoverable(46).
