Degradable Siloxane-Organic Copolymers.


Degradable Siloxane-Organic Copolymers.

The design of degradable polymers that exhibit complex degradation profile has received increasing attention as a mean to tailor materials for a number of intended applications, for example, gene deliver carriers, materials for drug delivery and biodegradable surgical devices, recyclable or environmental degradable materials.


Silicone compounds are considered to be environmental persistent. The silicones can be incorporated as small segments in siloxane-organic copolymers, able to break in enzymatic degradable oligomers. 




There is also interest in the utility of polysiloxane as elastomers, sensor materials, and polymer membranes. They are attractive candidates for lower temperature sealants and adhesives.
