Silicone polymers, or polysiloxanes, are an important class of material that find many industrial uses. From healthcare to energy, and from transportation to construction, silicones are found in thousands of manufactured products that improve the quality of our lives. They are known for their outstanding thermal and oxidative stability, low Tg (low glass transition and therefore low temperature flexibility), sterilisability, biocompatibility, low surface tension, high spreading and wetting capabilities and high resistance to weathering and many chemicals. Silicones therefore find application is some of the most demanding applications, e.g, in wind turbines where they are used to provide lubrication, damping, electrical insulation and oil and solvent resistance.
