Dumas predicted the existence of silicone rubbers ion 1840. however, it was not until 1872, that Ladenburg produced the first example, a very viscous oil, by reacting diethoxydiethysilane with water ...

It’s more than likely you’ve come across silicone. There’s quite possibly a silicone spatula, whisk or measuring spoon in your kitchen drawers. But, do you know the difference between silicone and ...

Multibase, a Dow Corning company, recently announced a new line of thermoplastic elastomers called TPSiV (pronounced tip-siv, short for thermoplastic silicone vulcanizates). These high-temperature, ...

Today’s medical device manufacturers operate in a challenging landscape. Stricter regulations and the need for biocompatibility are making development and manufacturing more demanding. Add to that ...
