Descriptor elastómeros de silicona
Entry term(s) goma de silicona
Scope note: Polímeros de silicona que se forman por reacciones cruzadas y tratamiento con sílice amorfa para incrementar su resistencia. Tienen propiedades similares a la goma natural vulcanizada, ya que se estiran cuando se les somete a tensión, se retraen rápidamente, y recuperan totalmente sus dimensiones originales cuando son liberados. Se usan en la encapsulación de membranas quirúrgicas y de implantes.

Scope note: 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.
