Surface Properties and Applications

  • Chapter
Silicon-Containing Polymers

Abstract

Organosiloxane polymers are hybrid materials composed of pendent organic groups along an inorganic siloxane backbone, one of the class of what Mark [1] calls ‘semi-inorganic’ polymers. Superficially, one might expect the surface properties of such a silicone material to be an average of these two dissimilar constituents. However, on closer consideration it is clear that this is not the case. For example, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and paraffin wax have essentially the same surface tension, far lower than that of silica. This situation results from the operation of two general rules, the second law of thermodynamics and Langmuir’s principle of the independence of surface action [2].
