Abstract
Content

Silicones can be developed into fluids, gels, adhesives, elastomers, and resins designed with unique properties that make them ideal for specific application uses in the defense and aerospace industries. Silicones are most widely known for their ability to maintain elastomeric properties in extreme conditions, but an additional benefit of these materials is the ability to incorporate large amounts of fillers that can impart properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity, and radar-absorbing characteristics. Silicone materials appear in a wide variety of material compositions, and this broad range of material compositions makes silicone a viable option to endless numbers of optic applications.
