Silicones are polymers which include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane – a repeating chain of silicon and oxygen; so silicones contain silicon. They're often used in insulation, being rubbery and heat resistant, with a very low heat transfer.

SILICONES:
IT HAVE THE UNIQUE PROPERTIE AMONG THE OTHER POLYMERS BECAUSE OF THE SIMULTANEOUS PRESENCE OF ORGANIC GROUPS ATTACHED TO THE CHAIN OF THE INORGANIC ATOMS .
SILOXANE:
THEY ARE POLYMERIC ORGANIC SILICONES THAT COMPRISE THE BACKBONE OF ALTERNATING [SILICON – OXYGEN ] UNITS WITH ORGANIC SIDE CHAINS ATTACHED TO EACH SIDE CHAIN.
