Abstract
Filler‐free silicones are believed to be more blood‐compatible than those containing fillers. An ultrapure silica‐free room temperature vulcanizing silicone system was prepared and characterized using a swelling experiment, an infrared spectrometer, an x‐ray spectrometer, a scanning electron microscope and neutron activation analysis. The polymer was found to be suitable for medical applications needing an extremely smooth surface.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
