SynopsisSilicone is an important class of materials used in applications that range from industrial assembly to everyday consumer products. Silicones are often delivered and synthesized in dispersion forms, the most common being liquid-in-liquid (emulsion), solid-in-liquid (suspension), air-in-liquid (foam) and solid-in air (powder). This book compiles a carefully selected number of topics that are essential to the understanding, creative design and production of silicone dispersions. As such, it provides the first unified description of silicone dispersions in the literature., Silicones have been sold commercially for over seventy years and the market has dramatically grown. Silicones are used in a wide variety of applications, for example, as engine lubricants, construction sealants, molds, optical lenses, antifoams, electronic encapsulates, adhesives and release liners, and as additives in coating, cosmetic, personal care, and household products. The wide range of applications is attributed to the unique properties of silicone that are distinct from those of inorganic glasses and organic plastics. Silicones are manufactured and used in different forms: neat, solutions, or dispersions. As with all materials, the properties and utilities of silicones are inseparable from their forms of delivery. Silicone Dispersions is intended to fill a gap in the literature and provide the reader with a better understanding of the material science of silicone dispersions. It provides researchers with a single resource describing the preparation, properties, and application of several commercially important categories of silicone dispersions. Chapters authored by leading experts address four types of dispersion systems: liquid-in-liquid (emulsion), solid-in-liquid (suspension), air-in-liquid (foam), and solid-in-air (powder). The book also provides useful references to scattered literature and patents. Book jacket.
