Summary
Table of Contents

Silicone elastomers are important materials for many application areas such as automotive, electric and electronics, gaskets, domestic appliances, 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 and biocompatibility. High gas permeability is a positive property in many medical devices; silicones have up to 400 times the permeability of butyl 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 Rapra’s first international conference on Silicone Elastomers will be of interest to rubber manufacturers and technologists, with a common interest in silicone elastomer materials, applications, and technology.

Dr. Klempner has over 150 publications, 20 books and\u003cbr\u003enumerous patents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKurt C. Frisch was the Director of the Polymer Institute of the University of Detroit Mercy until his untimely death in 2000. He was a world known authority on polyurethane chemistry and technology. Dr. Frisch received undergraduate and graduate training at the Universities of Vienna, Brussels, and Columbia University, and earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the latter institution. He worked as a research chemist at General Electric Company from 1944 to 1952 and as Assistant Manager of Research with E.F. Houghton \u0026amp; Co. from 1952 to 1956. From 1956 to 1968, Dr. Frisch was employed by Wyandotte Chemicals Corporation (now BASF), where he held positions as Manager of Polymer Research, Director of Applications Research, and Director of Polymer Research and Development. It was here that Dr. Frisch made major contributions to polymer science by developing the first low-cost polyurethane foam. After serving as an Adjunct Professor from 1965 to 1968 while still in the industry, Dr. Frisch joined the teaching staff at the University of Detroit on a full-time basis and established the Polymer Institute. \u003cbr\u003eHe has written, co-authored, or edited over 275 scientific papers and 38 books on polymer research. He also holds over 55 US patents along with several hundred foreign patents in his field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"}
