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

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 ...

Evaluation of silicone elastomers as structural materials for microstructured adhesives
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2019Microstructured (sometimes referred to as gecko-like) adhesives have numerous advantages over flat films, especially for practical applications on non-ideal surfaces that may be uneven or contaminated with dust.

Multiple modulus silicone elastomers using 3D extrusion printing of low viscosity inks
Additive Manufacturing, 2018Silicone elastomers are of commercial interest in a number of areas because of their distinctive properties. Current 3D-printing (additive manufacturing) technologies for silicones mainly rely on the extrusion of high-viscosity pre-elastomer inks of one ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electrorheology of filled silicone elastomers
Journal of Rheology, 2001Electrorheological (ER) silicone elastomers containing particles based on silica (SiO2) and titania minerals (BaTiO3, Ba2Ti9O20, and BaTiO3/CaZrO3) were prepared and characterized. An electrical field was applied to align the particles during the cure of the silicone prepolymer.
