Poly(dimethylsiloxane)s (PDMS) have one of the lowest values of glass transition temperature among synthetic polymers, and indicate low-temperature flexibility, excellent thermal, thermo-oxidative and ultraviolet stability, very low surface energy, high hydrophobicity, high gas permeability and good biocompatibility. α,ω-Difunctionalized (or telechelic) PDMSs of low molecular weights are various starting prepolymers for the preparation of a wide variety of types of PDMS-based segmented copolymer ...

Gamma radiations are used for sterilization processes in medical devices, food industry as well as in nuclear power plants or aerospace. Gamma irradiation is a very convenient tool for the modification of polymeric materials. The irradiation of polymeric materials with ionizing radiation (gamma rays, X-rays, accelerated electrons, ion beams, etc.) lead to the formation of very reactive intermediates, free radicals, ions and excited states. These intermediates can follow several reaction paths th ...

Crosslinking is a process whereby the polymer segments from different polymer chains are interconnected by covalent (and sometimes ionic) linkages. Crosslinks can be formed either during the polymer synthesis process, or additionally by reaction leading to the connection of already finished macromolecules. The crosslinking agent is necessary for the crosslinking of the finished polymer. Given the great length of the macromolecules, only a small amount of crosslinking agent is necessary to produc ...
