Microscopic Chemical Bond Angles of Thermally Conductive Silicone

1. Chemical Backbone of Thermal Silicone Thermally conductive silicone is based on polysiloxane (–Si–O–Si–). Each Si atom alternates with O atoms, forming the “Si–O backbone.” The Si atoms are typically bonded to methyl groups (–CH₃) or other functional groups. Basic structure: –Si(CH₃)₂–O–Si(CH₃)₂–O– 2. Bond Angles (Bond Foot) in Si–O–Si In this structure: Si atoms adopt […]
