Definition
English
:
Polymers
of
silicone
that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties
similar
to vulcanized natural
rubber
, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical
membranes
and implants.
