A generic polysiloxane Polysiloxane, commonly known as silicone, is the most commonly commercially available inorganic polymer. The large body of existing work on polysiloxane has made it a readily available platform for functionalization to create smart polymers, with a variety of approaches reported which generally center around the addition of metal oxides to a commercially available polysiloxane or the inclusion of functional side-chains on the polysiloxane backbone. The applications of smart polysiloxanes vary greatly, ranging from drug delivery, to smart coatings, to electrochromics.

The polarity of the solute is crucial for the choice of stationary compound, which in an optimal case would have a similar polarity as the solute. Common stationary phases in open tubular columns are cyanopropylphenyl dimethyl polysiloxane, carbowax polyethyleneglycol, biscyanopropyl cyanopropylphenyl polysiloxane and diphenyl dimethyl polysiloxane. For packed columns more options are available.

Commercial polysiloxane coatings are readily commercially available and capable of protecting surfaces from damaging pollutants, but the addition of TiO2 gives them the smart ability to degrade pollutants stuck to their surface in the presence of sunlight. This particular phenomena is promising in the field of monument preservation. Similar hybrid textile coatings made of amino-functionalized polysiloxane with TiO2 and silver nanoparticles have been reported to have smart stain-repellent yet hydrophilic properties, making them unique in comparison to typical hydrophobic stain- repellant coatings. Smart properties have also been reported for polysiloxane coatings without metal oxides, namely, a polysiloxane/polyethylenimine coating designed to protect magnesium from corrosion that was found to be capable of self-healing small scratches.

Synthesis of smart stimuli responsive polysiloxanes through the addition of a polysiloxane amine to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl via aza-Michael addition to create a polysiloxane with N-isopropyl amide side-chains has been reported. This polysiloxane was shown to be able to load ibuprofen (a hydrophobic NSAID) and then release it in response to changes in temperature, showing it to be a promising candidate for smart drug delivery of hydrophobic drugs. This action was attributed to the polymer's ability to retain the ibuprofen above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), and conversely, to dissolve below the LCST, thus releasing the loaded ibuprofen at a given, known temperature.

This is due to their low tendency to entangle. Dendronized polymers have been synthesized with, e.g., polymethylmethacrylate, polystyrene, polyacetylene, polyphenylene, polythiophene, polyfluorene, poly(phenylene vinylene), poly(phenylene acetylene), polysiloxane, polyoxanorbornene, poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) backbones. Molar masses up to 200 Mio g/mol have been obtained.

The insides of the GC-MS, with the column of the gas chromatograph in the oven on the right. The GC-MS is composed of two major building blocks: the gas chromatograph and the mass spectrometer. The gas chromatograph utilizes a capillary column whose properties regarding molecule separation depend on the column's dimensions (length, diameter, film thickness) as well as the phase properties (e.g. 5% phenyl polysiloxane).

Silicone can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration A silicone or polysiloxane are polymers made up of siloxane (−R2Si−O−SiR2−, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless, oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, and thermal and electrical insulation. Some common forms include silicone oil, silicone grease, silicone rubber, silicone resin, and silicone caulk.

Anti-graffiti coatings are frequently used by a number of charities that use public installations to raise money for their respective causes. In cases where pieces of art and sculptures may be put out into the public, these coatings have been used to protect the pieces against graffiti attacks. These sculptures are protected by anti-graffiti coatings, often polysiloxane clear coatings so as to protect them from graffiti and weather damage.

Based on IUPAC, ionic polymerization is a chain polymerization in which the kinetic-chain carriers are ions or ion pairs. It can be further divided into anionic polymerization and cationic polymerization. Ionic polymerization is widely used in our daily life. A lot of common polymers are generated by ionic polymerization such as butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, polyphenylene, polyoxymethylene, polysiloxane, polyethylene oxide, high density polyethylene, isotactic polypropylene, butadiene rubber, etc.

According to definition from IUPAC ring-opening polymerization is a polymerization in which a cyclic monomer yields a monomeric unit which is acyclic or contains fewer cycles than the monomer. Generally, the ring-opening polymerization is carried out under mild conditions, and the by-product is less than the polycondensation reaction and the high molecular weight polymer is easily obtained. Common ring-opening polymerization products includes polypropylene oxide, polytetrahydrofuran, polyepichlorohydrin, polyoxymethylene, polycaprolactam and polysiloxane.

Purple-K powder has an acrid taste and odor, is free-flowing, floating on most liquids, non-abrasive, does not wet with water and is compatible with most foam concentrates. It has violet color, to distinguish it from other dry agents. Its principal component is potassium bicarbonate (78–82% by weight), with addition of sodium bicarbonate (12–15%), mica (1–3%), Fuller's earth (1–3%), amorphous silica (0.2–%), and is made hydrophobic by methyl hydrogen polysiloxane (0.2–1%). Purple-K is normally non-toxic, but ingestion of large amount can cause alkalosis.

Polyvinyl siloxane (PVS), also called poly-vinyl siloxane, vinyl polysiloxane (VPS), or vinylpolysiloxane, is an addition-reaction silicone elastomer (an addition silicone). It is a viscous liquid that cures (solidifies) quickly into a rubber-like solid, taking the shape of whatever surface it was lying against while curing. As with two-part epoxy, its package keeps its two component liquids in separate tubes until the moment they are mixed and applied, because once mixed, they cure (harden) rapidly. Polyvinyl siloxane is widely used in dentistry as an impression material.

The formulation of Sugru contains 25-50% silicone (polysiloxane), 25–50% talc, and the remaining additives including methyltris (methylethylketoxime) silane and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane. The company claims its formulation can be varied to offer different levels of consistency, plasticity, softness, resiliency, surface adhesion, modulus and abrasion resistance, setting time, density, and ability to float. According to the company's MSDS for the U.S., Sugru is classified as "not hazardous" under OSHA's 2012 Hazard Communication Standard, and for Europe, Sugru "does not meet the criteria for classification in any hazard class" under EU Regulation No. 1272/2008 and Directive 1999/45/EC. However, both versions of the MSDS note that Sugru may cause irritation or skin sensitization.

Heating above ~600 °F (~ 300 °C) converts all silicone polymers into ceramicsConcise Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, ed. J.I. Kroschwitz, Wiley, New York, 1990, since all organic constituents pyrolytically decompose leaving crystalline silicate polymers with the general formula (-SiO2-)n. In addition to applications as ceramic matrix composite precursors, silicone resins in the form of polysiloxane polymers made from silicone resins with pendant acrylate, vinyl ether or epoxy functionality find application as UV, electron beam and thermoset polymer matrix composites where they are characterised by their resistance to oxidation, heat and ultraviolet degradation. Assorted other uses in the general area of composites for silicones include sealants, coating materials, and as a reusable bag material for vacuum-bag curing of composite parts.
