Silicon Based Polymers presents highlights in advanced
research and technological innovations using macromolecular
organosilicon compounds and systems, as presented in the 2007
ISPO congress. Silicon-containing materials and polymers are used
all over the world and in a variety of industries, domestic
products and high technology applications.

Among them, silicones are certainly the most well–known, however
there are still new properties discovered and preparative
processes developed all the time, therefore adding to their
potential. Less known, but in preparation for the future, are
other silicon containing-polymers which are now close to maturity
and in fact some are already available like polysilsesquioxanes
and polysilanes.

All these silicon based materials can adopt very different
structures like chains, dendrimers, hyperbranched and networks,
physical and chemical gels. The result is a vast array of
materials with applications in various areas such as optics,
electronics, ionic electrolytes, liquid crystals, biomaterials,
ceramics and concrete, paints and coatings … all needed to face
the environmental, energetical and technological issues of today.
Some industrial aspects of the applications of these materials
will also be presented.
