The name silicone refers most of the time to polymers containing a Si-O backbone. To this backbone, organic groups are frequently attached to the silicon atoms via a Si-C bond. The simultaneous presence of organic groups attached to an inorganic backbone gives silicones a combination of unique properties and allows their use in a broad range of diverse applications.
