Silicon (Si) Silicon is a lustrous silvery gray material. Because silicon conducts electricity, but not as well as a metal, silicon is classified as a semimetal. Crystals of pure silicon that have been doped with arsenic or gallium are known as semiconductors and are used to fabricate computer chips. Silicone rubbers are polymers containing silicon, oxygen, and various hydrocarbon groups, and are used in applications ranging from sealants to breast implants. 

One area in which this technology is making inroads is in the manufacture of conductive ignition core. Schematics comparing this system for producing a silicone conductive core (Figure 3) to the solvent dispersion method traditionally used (Figure 4) are shown. 

The following criteria were used in determining the energy requirements needed to fabricate a silicone conductive core. 

Silicon conducts electric current as well as graphite the electric resistance decreases as the temperature rises.

Strictly speaking, the electrons do not enter the empty silicon conduction band, but are in energy levels very close to this band and just below it. Such levels are known as impurity levels (Figure 8.16).

A different approach to correlate porous silicon conductivity with material porosity was described in Ref Aroutiounian and Ghulinyan (2003). In this work, the conductivity was shown to be mainly crystalline for porosities much lower than the percolation threshold at 57 %, while a fractal behavior was observed at porosities near percolation threshold. For higher values of porosities, the conductivity was described as a quasi-one-dimensional hopping. The report concluded that in PS with increasing porosity, at lower temperatures, the dimension of the chaimels of electrical current flow decrease fi"om 3 to 1, as described by the Mott law for amorphous semiconductors. However, the model results described in this work show some deviation fi"om the experimental results. 

The polymeric/ soft materials chapter represents the largest expansion for the 2nd edition. This chapter describes all polymeric classes including dendritic polymers, as well as important additives such as plasticizers and flame-retardants, and emerging applications such as molecular magnets and self-repairing polymers. This edition now features click chemistry polymerization, silicones, conductive polymers and biomaterials apphcations such as biodegradable polymers, biomedical devices, dmg delivery, and contact lenses.
