The 14 pages that link to Silicone, each with the reason it gives.

• SiliconCompared with: Silicone is a silicon-containing polymer, distinct from the elemental silicon used in chips.

• PolyurethaneCompared with: Silicone competes with polyurethane in sealants and elastomers, especially where heat resistance matters.

• EmollientBroader topic: Silicones such as dimethicone provide slip and a protective film without the feel of heavy oils.

• FluoropolymersCompared with: Silicones offer heat resistance and flexibility through a different backbone chemistry.

• Hair conditionerRelated: Some silicones form smooth films that increase slip and reduce friction.

• ChloromethaneRelated: Chloromethane supplies methyl groups in the industrial production of methylchlorosilanes, silicone precursors.

• Sex toyRelated: Silicone is common in sex toys because it is flexible, durable, and nonporous when properly made.

• Dow Chemical CompanyBroader topic: Dow makes silicone materials used in construction, electronics, healthcare, and consumer products.

• Organosilicon chemistryBroader topic: Silicones are prominent materials whose properties depend on organosilicon substituents.

• Polymer backboneBroader topic: Its Si–O backbone contrasts with the carbon chains common in commodity plastics.

• Silicon tetrachlorideRelated: SiCl₄ can supply silicon for making organochlorosilanes, key silicone precursors.

• Biomedical and Dental MaterialsCompared with: Its flexibility suits some devices where rigid metals or ceramics are unsuitable.

• Sex dollRelated: Silicone models are generally durable and retain fine surface detail.

• Silly PuttyNarrower topic: Silly Putty’s silicone polymer gives the toy its distinctive stretch and rebound.
