Answer 3

abundance of poly opportunities

no reisdual monomer

Question 4

what are the 3 components of ormocer

Answer 4

silicones
organic poly
ceramic glasses

Question 5

explain the 3 components of ormocers

Answer 5

silicones - elastic, surface energy, gas perm
organic polymers - tough,flex, functionalisation, process ability
ceramic glasses - hardness, them, thermal stability and transparency

Question 6

how do u use a ormocer

Answer 6

build up inorganic network (hydrolysis and cond of Si Alkoxide)

form organic matrix (apply heat/UV initiate reaction of poly)

result inorganic- organic copolymer
