Today I want to unveil some of the mystery behind what exactly silicone is made out of and what makes it different from silicon. I go into the chemistry of both elemental silicon and the silicone polymer that is derived from it. I go into the chemical structures of silicone polymers and what gives different types of silicone their properties.

Is it reuse or recycle ? What to do with waste of silicone rubber? Or dried silicone

Can someone explain why silicone is expensive rather with other similar plastics?
@yasirrakhurrafat1142
@yasirrakhurrafat1142 Ай бұрын
For one, it is made of solicon, elemental silicon (a metal). Which is.. I'm sure.. more expensive than hydrocarbons i.e raw material that polymers/plastics are usually synthesized from. Hydrocarbons are gas/oils. Petrol,/gasoline, etc. Plus the process of synthesizing silicon may be different, more expensive, more work, than common plastics.

one time i was mixing some plant stuff like i think potassium silicate, and maybe citric acid i think? i was just putting the right amounts in a shot glass so i could pour it in the water, and it did this crazy thing where it gelled up and was really interesting but even though i measured it out and wrote it down i couldn't really replicate it... maybe i accidentally added some phosphate on accident and forgot... but it made me wonder how silicone was made...

Why do solvents, glues polymers seems like such a dark art? Hidden behind commercial formulations and patents. Pharmaceuticals comparatively seem quite open... Or am I imagining things?
