  2. Polydimethylsiloxane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane

    Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone, is a silicone polymer with a wide variety of uses, from cosmetics to industrial lubrication and passive daytime radiative cooling. [1] [2] [3] PDMS is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siloxane

    Polydimethylsiloxane is a prevalent siloxane. In organosilicon chemistry, a siloxane is an organic compound containing a functional group of two silicon atoms bound to an oxygen atom: Si−O−Si. The parent siloxanes include the oligomeric and polymeric hydrides with the formulae H[OSiH 2] n OH and [OSiH 2] n. [1]

    Consumer products to control flatulence often contain silicone oil. [citation needed] Silicone oils have been used as a vitreous fluid substitute to treat difficult cases of retinal detachment, such as those complicated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, large retinal tears, and penetrating ocular trauma.

    Chemical structure of the silicone polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Alfred Stock and Carl Somiesky examined the hydrolysis of dichlorosilane, a reaction that was proposed to initially give the monomer H 2 SiO: + + When the hydrolysis is performed by treating a solution of H 2 SiCl 2 in benzene with water, the product was determined to have the approximate formula [H 2 SiO] 6.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_gel_sheeting

    The exact mechanism of action of silicone gel sheeting has not been fully studied. Currently, many proposed mechanisms explain the efficacy of such treatment, including the occlusion and hydration effect, increased body surface temperature, polarized electric charge, immunological effects, etc. [9] The occlusion and hydration effect is the most studied mechanism of action.

    These models use whole body surface area rather than the surface area of specific parts for the mathematical input. c. The third scenario is splash, or droplet exposure. This model takes into account that not all water carrying a chemical that comes into contact with skin stays on the skin long enough to allow absorption.
