Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although organic polymers based on carbon have revolutionized the use of commodity materials during the latter half of the twentieth century, polymers based on silicon have also had a remarkable impact in certain speciality areas, especially in medical technology. This article clarifies some of the chemical uncertainties associated with these materials. |
