Finegold Alexander Architects was established in Boston in 1961 as J. Timothy Anderson & Associates by J. Timothy Anderson (1932-2001), a 1958 graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. In 1965 he was joined by his former classmate George M. Notter (1933-2007) and in 1970 the firm was renamed Anderson Notter Associates. [1]
Dow Corning was formally established in 1943 as a joint venture between the American conglomerates Dow Chemical and Corning Glass to explore the potential of silicone and was a manufacturer of products for use by the U.S. military in World War II. The company began operating its first plant, in Midland, MI, in 1945.
Silicones at Wacker began to be produced in 1947 [6] and silane production came later in 1949. [4] In April 1953, Wacker became a limited liability private company and was renamed to Wacker-Chemie GmbH. Eduard Enk started the Wacker semiconductor business in 1953 and produced its first silicon rod two years later.
Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. In organosilicon and polymer chemistry, a silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (−O−R 2 Si−O−SiR 2 −, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in ...
Sealant products manufactured with silyl-modified polymers generally have most of the desirable properties of acrylic- or polyurethane-based products, including high opacity, short drying time, and good paint adhesion, as well as some key properties of silicone-based products, including adhesion to a wider range of substrate materials, higher ...
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.
