Question

State whether the following statement is true or false. ‘Silicone polymer is an inorganic polymer’.

Answer 1

The statement is true. .......

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is true - Silicone polymer is an inorganic polymer.

Explanation:

Silicones are the polymeric organosilicon compounds containing Si-O-Si linkages.

• Due to the high thermal stability of Si-O-Si linkages, they are also called high-temperature polymers.

They are utilized as the best insulating material in electrical equipment since they can endure high temperatures without charring.

They are naturally water repellent. As a result, this polymer is utilized to make water-resistant clothing.

Furthermore, high-strength silicone rubber can tolerate high temperatures on the surface. As a result, the soles of lunar boots have been prepared and are being worn by astronauts.

Other potential uses

• It's used in the making of paints and enamels.
• Vaseline is a lubricant made from silicones that are used at low temperatures.
• Silicone resin is applied to the metal surface to make it non-stick.
