organicsilicon
Organosilicon, also known as organosilicon compounds or silicones, refers to chemical compounds that contain carbon-silicon bonds. These compounds are a significant class of materials with a wide range of applications. The fundamental structure of many organosilicon compounds is based on a silicon-oxygen backbone, known as a polysiloxane, where silicon atoms are bonded to oxygen atoms in a repeating chain. Organic groups are attached to the silicon atoms in this chain.
The properties of organosilicon compounds are highly versatile and can be tailored by altering the organic
Organosilicon compounds exist in various forms, including oils, greases, resins, and elastomers (rubbers). These different forms
