Videosiloxane

The word siloxane refers to a fascinating class of synthetic compounds essential to modern materials science. These molecules are characterized by a backbone of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, which provides the unique flexibility found in many industrial products. In this lesson, we explore the chemical structure of siloxane, including the difference between linear and cyclic forms. You will also learn about related terms like polysiloxane and the specific bonds that define these compounds. Watch the lesson to master the technical vocabulary of silicone chemistry.
