Abstract
Silicone rubber’s special features such as “organosiloxanes polymer” has been originated from its unique molecular structure that they carry both inorganic and organic properties unlike other organic rubbers. In other words, due to the Si–O bond of silicone rubber and its inorganic properties, silicone rubber was superior to ordinary organic rubbers in terms of heat resistance, chemical stability, electrical insulating, abrasion resistance, weatherability and ozone resistance. With these unique characteristics, silicone rubber has been widely used to replace petrochemical products in various industries like aerospace, munitions industry, automobile, construction, electric and electronics, medical and food processing industry. Recently, these scopes of silicone applications have been expanding at a great speed by the demand of industries that want more reliable elastomer. This paper reviews on synthesis, general properties, applications and nanocomposites of silicone rubber.
