Polysiloxane Resin
Polysiloxanes, or silicones, are a general category of polymers consisting of a silicon-oxygen backbone with organic groups, typically methyl groups, attached to the silicon atoms. Polysiloxane Resin or Silicone Resins are polymers comprised of a siloxane (silicon–oxygen) lattice with at least some portion comprised of the silicate (SiO4/2) or silsesquioxane (R-SiO3/2) structures, where R represents various alkyl or aryl organic groups (most commonly methyl or phenyl). In comparison to organic resins (with their carbon-carbon backbone), silicone resins exhibit greater resistance to thermal and radiation degradation. The durability of silicone resins is attributed to the bond strength between silicon and oxygen (108 vs. 82.6 kcal/mole for the carboncarbon bond), transparency to visible and ultraviolet light, and the inherent partially oxidized structure. Evidence supporting this stability claim can be found beneath our feet. The siliconoxygen bond is the most abundant chemical bond on earth.
