Silicone elastomers for reduced protein adsorption
Biomaterials, 2004Monofunctional poly(ethylene oxide) polymers of molecular weight (MW) 350, 750, and 2000, respectively, were modified with Si(OEt)3 groups. These polymers underwent classic condensation cure with hydroxy-terminated silicone polymers and Si(OEt)4 to give composites with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) rich surfaces under aqueous conditions, as shown by ...

Thyroplasty Using A Silicone Elastomer Implant
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1995Silicone has been used in a variety of forms as a replacement for soft tissue for more than three decades in the United States. The safety of this practice has come under scrutiny recently as our knowledge of the local, systemic, and immune effects of silicone has expanded. Contrary to what was once thought, silicone is not biologically inert. Silicone

Dynamic Analysis of Silicone Elastomers
Materials Science Forum, 2005The silicone elastomers offer in our days new perspective for the construction in the precision engineering and in the medicine because of their special mechanical, electrical, optical and chemical properties. Since the essential material parameters like storage modulus and loss modulus depend on temperature and frequency explicit it is important for ...

Silicone Elastomer Implantation Cyclodialysis
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1973Five eyes with severe secondary angleclosure glaucoma were operated upon using the silicone elastomer (Silastic) implantation cyclodialysis procedure. It was not possible to thereby significantly reduce the intraocular pressure except for one eye, which also underwent a cyclodiathermy.

History of Silicone Elastomers
1986In a little more than 40 years silicone elastomers have emerged from laboratory curiosities to a broad family of synthetic, largely inorganic, materials useful in a wide variety of applications. Key discoveries in the development of silicone elastomer technology, including monomer synthesis and polymerization, crosslinking and reinforcement of the ...

Softness Evaluation of Silicone Elastomers
Chemistry Letters, 2011Abstract We evaluated the softness of various silicone elastomers installed on a tactile evaluation system. The softness of the elastomers was reflected by the vertical force when subjects pushed the elastomers with their fingers. The moving behavior depended on the elastic properties of the contacted objects; namely, a pushing pattern ...

Complications of Silicone Elastomer Prostheses
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977To the Editor.— The report by Christie et al apparently correctly notes that silicone elastomer prostheses may produce foreign body reaction in a regional lymph node and synovitis. However, these mild inflammatory reactions have not been placed in proper clinical perspective. The authors correctly state, "Thousands of silicone elastomer...

Oxidation of Silicone Elastomer Finger Joints
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2007We analyzed the oxygen content of 19 retrieved implants and 6 packaged implants to further understand the mechanism of degradation of silicone elastomer finger joints while in vivo.Nineteen Swanson (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, TN) silicone elastomer finger joints were retrieved at revision surgery at an average of 7 years of use. Six packaged

Porosity and color of maxillofacial silicone elastomer.
Journal of prosthodontics : official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, 2011Prosthesis color production and stability as a result of pore entrapment during mixing has not been investigated for maxillofacial silicone prostheses. The purpose of this study was to investigate pore numbers and percentages of a maxillofacial silicone elastomer mixed by two different techniques, using X-ray microfocus computerized tomography (Micro ...
