Silicones and Their Applications

Silicones have great importance in everyday life due to their extensive framework, permeable films, water resistance, and uniform skin-conditioning effects. Based on comparison with other organic materials, silicones have been proved to be very beneficial in the treatment of scars. This family of high-performing materials is classified into different types based on their structure and properties. A brief discussion on the behavior of silicones is also observed with respect to heat and light along with their mechanical, chemical, and physical properties. Whether it’s quarts, masonry work, or a building constructed from cement, all these things are silicones. It depicts those silicones are metallo-organic compounds of significant value and research.
