General Electric's silicone development depended on understanding polymer chemistry. The preparation of (CH3)2SiCl2 (9) could only be mastered if the chemists and engineers understood exothermic reactions with high activation energies.

Silicon based materials and polymers are made of silicon containing polymers, mainly macromolecular siloxanes (silicones). This book covers the different kinds of siliconbased polymers: silicones, silsesquioxanes (POSS), and silicon-based copolymers.

Silicones have unique properties amongst polymers because of the simultaneous presence of organic groups attached to a chain of inorganic atoms. They are used in many industries including those devoted to electronics, paints, construction and food.

It should appeal most to the chemists and engineers in the chemical industry and research, who should benefit from the technological, scientific, and economic interrelationships and their potential developments.

Industrial chemists provide the fundamental chemical knowledge and expertise needed to develop new processes and products, while chemical engineers apply their engineering skills to scale up these processes and operate them efficiently and safely.

This book, Chemistry and Industrial Techniques for Chemical Engineers, brings together innovative research, new concepts, and novel developments in the application of new tools for chemical and materials engineers.

While Chemical Engineering focuses on the overall process design and optimization, Industrial Chemistry focuses on the specific chemical reactions, formulations, and applications required for a particular product or industry.

Silicon and the Si-O Bond: Explain the unique bonding characteristics of silicon and oxygen, leading to the formation of long, chain-like siloxane polymers. Highlight the inherent flexibility and stability of Si-O bonds.

Sep 23, 2016 · This book includes explanations as to why polymers are needed and the specific problems and key industrial application challenges that can be overcome for each class of engineering material.

Receive a fast-paced rundown of the essential topics in chemical engineering. This workshop will provide chemists with the theory and tools to apply early in the design of chemicals and materials.
