Silicones Silicone rubbers and oils are usually based on polydimethylsiloxane (Si(CH3)20) . They all give spectra readily identified through the positive ions at miz 28, 47, 147, 107, 221, and 281. The relative intensities of these peaks vary as a function of molecular weight, end groups, and cross-link density in the rubbers. 

Silicone polymers may be filled or unfilled, depending on the properties desired and the application. They can be cured by several mechanisms, either at room temperature by room-temperature vulcanization (RTV) or at elevated temperatures. Their final form may be fluid, gel, elastomer, or rigid plastic. There are three primary types of silicone resins (1) flexible two-part, (2) flexible one-part, and (3) rigid silicones. Silicone rubber resins for casting, potting, and other liquid processes are available from Dow Coming (Silastic) and GE Silicones. 

The design and operation of a flow visualization system for highly viscous fluids, such as silicon rubber, has been reported by Ghafouri and Freakley (1994). This system consists mainly of a rotating roll and fixed-blade assembly, as is shown in Figure 5.7, and can be used to generate and maintain, essentially.

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). 

Polymer-Fluid Equilibria and the Glass Transition Most polymer systems fall in the Class HI or Class V phase diagrams, and the same system can often change from one class into the other as the polymer s molecular weight changes. Most polymers are insoluble in CO9 below 100°C, yet CO9 can be quite sohible in the polymer. For example, the sorption of CO9 into silicone rubber is highly dependent upon temperature and pressure, since these properties have a large influence on the density and activity of CO9.
