Silicones (or polydimethylsiloxanes, PDMSs oregon silicone rubbers successful the vernacular) are good known to aesculapian instrumentality users and suppliers arsenic they person been utilized for decades for aesculapian applications, peculiarly for implantations.
Polyisobutylene (PIB) rubbers—such arsenic butyl rubbers, halobutyl rubbers and assorted PIB-based thermoplastic elastomers—are little good known, but successful laboratory studies look to person beardown advantages implicit silicones.
The authors posit that definite well-defined PIB-based rubbers, peculiarly PIB-based thermoplastic elastomers, are inherently superior to silicones for implantation and different aesculapian devices. In this paper, we contiguous facts and sermon properties that show that position.
