Silicons are synthetic polymers containing repeated R,SiO units. Since, the empirical formula is that of a ketone (R,CO), the name silicone has been given to these materials. Silicones can be made into oils, rubbery elastomers and resins. They find a variety of applications because of their chemical inertness, water repelling nature, heat-resistance and good electrical insulating property.
