Abstract
Thermal properties are among the most characteristic and at the same time the most technologically important properties of polysiloxanes. They embrace a unique combination of pronounced elasticity at unusually low temperatures and high thermal and thermo-oxidative stability at elevated temperatures. These properties are characteristic of polysiloxanes because they directly originate from a specific interplay of some of the most fundamental features inherent to the basic structural building blocks that make up their repeat units, chain segments and entire macromolecules. They are therefore found in more or less all members of this family of polymers. At the same time they are also of outstanding technological importance because not only that they clearly distinguish these unique polymers from their purely organic, -C-C- type counterparts, but they often make polysiloxanes the materials of choice for many applications where performance under extreme service conditions is required and where no other polymer can successfully satisfy the purpose.
