Is silicone good or rubber good?

Is silicone good or rubber good?

Answer:

We can see from their properties, silicone rubber has the superiority of the ordinary rubber silicone rubber prices There is nothing comparable to this, more expensive, which is better, we should look at our purpose, if ordinary rubber products can meet our needs, it is not necessary to overkill, with better performance, higher prices of the silica gel.
Rubber is divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber, natural rubber structure is isoprene polymer, synthetic rubber such as polybutadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber. When rubber is deformed by the external force, the crosslinked rubber has the ability to recover quickly, and has good physical and mechanical properties and chemical stability.Silicone rubber is mainly composed of high molecular weight linear polysiloxane. The Si-O-Si key is the basic bond formed, mainly methyl silicon atoms connected, introduced a very small amount of unsaturated groups in side chain, intermolecular interactions, molecular spiral structure, methyl arrangement and can freely rotate outward, thus vulcanized silicone rubber has excellent resistance to high and low temperature (-100~315 DEG C). Weather, water repellent, electrical insulation, physiological inertia and other characteristics, are widely used in military, medical, industrial and agricultural production and people's daily life. Most importantly, there is no toxicity, as usual in pacifiers and breast implants.
If it is inorganic silica gel, that does not need to compare. How do you put different kinds of things together, or do you say good fruit or electric fans? If organic silicone, then the outlook is good, but can not simply say better than ordinary rubber and bad, different places have different applications.
I don't know. Do you mean the original inorganic silica gel (not rubber) or organic silica gel?. Rubber is especially large, and silicone rubber (organic silica gel) belongs to rubber.
