Silicone Elastomers 2011
Silicone elastomers have a unique combination of properties not found with organic elastomers, such as stability over a very wide temperature range, good electrical properties and environmental resistance, no smell or taste, high biocompatibility, low softness without plasticizers, and high colourability and transparency. Despite their relatively high cost, silicone elastomers are being increasingly used for applications where durability and safety in use are particularly important such as; automotive, electrical and electronic, domestic appliances, food processing, medical devices and baby bottle teats.
These proceedings cover all the presentations from the conference which covered the whole range of silicone elastomer materials, including high temperature vulcanised (HTV), room temperature vulcanised (RTV) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR).
