Silicones are widely used in the polymer industtry as elastomers, pressure sensitive adhesives, in water-borne systems, biomedical products surface and interfacial agents, personal care products, processing aids, electronics encapsulents, and other applications. Silicones and Silicone-Modified Materials examines recent
academic and technological developments of this growing industry.
