Kippenhan is a former lecturer of chemistry at the University of Toledo. Pictured (left to right): Lindsay Young, Edith Kippenhan, Dean GiolandoĪbout the Contributors: Lindsay Young is a UT alumna who now works with Proto Manufacturing. The properties of different types of siliconeĬhange depending on which organic group is attached to the siloxane chain. Silicone is a polymer, or molecule chain, consisting of a backbone of silicon and oxygen atoms connected to other atoms (usually carbon and/or hydrogen). Pure silicon is most notably used in technology, where it is used to make semiconductors. Is not common, although silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth'sĬrust following oxygen. Silicon is a naturally occurring shiny bluish-silver metalloid. Silicon versus Silicone - What's the difference? That diffract light, causing the rainbow-like sheen Opal (donated by Lindsay Young) - the coloring of opal occurs because of tiny silica spheres.A silicon wafer (donated by Lindsay Young) - used to x-ray diffraction standards.A silicon solar cell (donated by Dean Giolando).
Insulator foam (donated by Edith Kippenhan and Detlef Klingberg) - like tubing, silicone insulationĭoes not swell and contract with temperature.
Silicone tubing can also withstand high temperatures without In low temperatures, the silicone will not harden
