View the Trends and Growth in Silicone Elastomers from 2006 Onwards.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46430) has announced the addition of Silicone Elastomers 2006 to their offering. Silicone elastomers are important materials for many application areas such as automotive, electric and electronics, gaskets, domestic appliances domestic appliance domestic n → appareil ménager , fabric coatings (e.g. airbags), baby bottle teats, and medical devices. They are increasingly being used to substitute for organic rubbers, because of their advantageous properties, such as high and low temperature stability, inertness (no smell or taste), low toxicity, colorability and transparency, combined with good electrical properties. The hardness range is wide, from 10-80 Shore A. Silicones have been in use in medical applications for over 30 years because of their long-term stability The long-term stability of an oscillator, the degree of uniformity of frequency over time, when the frequency is measured under identical environmental conditions, such as supply voltage, load, and temperature. and biocompatibility biocompatibility the quality of not having toxic or injurious effects on biological systems. biocompatibility 1. The extent to which a foreign, usually implanted, material elicits an immune or other response in a recipient 2. . High gas permeability is a positive property in many medical devices; silicones have up to 400 times the permeability of butyl rubber butyl rubber: see rubber. at room temperature. They are also used in cosmetic applications, where their colorability and sensory properties are important (a soft, skin-like touch and appearance can be achieved). These proceedings from the first international conference on Silicone Elastomers will be of interest to rubber manufacturers and technologists, with a common interest in silicone elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. materials, applications and technology.
