Silicones are a group of synthetic polymers made up of repeating units of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, typically arranged in a backbone of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms (–Si–O–Si–). They are also known as polysiloxanes.
These materials are highly versatile and are widely used across industries due to their unique combination of flexibility, stability, and resistance to extreme conditions.
