Introduction:

Silicone rubbers are elastomers based on high molecular weight linear polymers, generally polydimethysiloxanes, which also may be modified with functional groups. Silicone rubbers are available in liquid or paste consistencies. They are also available as room-temperature-vulcanizing (RTV) sealants, adhesives, potting, and encapsulating compounds, gums, bases, and compounded stocks for fabricating heat-cured rubber products. Silicone rubbers are considered as one of the best materials and are highly valued for exceptional properties of elongation, high tear strength, good thermal conductivity, and temperature and fire resistance.
