In summary, because organic silica gel has many excellent physical and chemical properties, so that it can be used in many occasions and environments, will play an important role in more fields. In the next period of time, organic silicone will achieve rapid development in the following aspects.


(1) Improvement of curing methods: from the traditional thermal curing to radiation curing, microwave curing development. At present, important progress has been made in UV-curable siloxane anti-adhesive and fiber coating.


(2) The introduction of functional groups: replacing commonly used methyl groups and phenyl groups with amino groups, epoxy groups, allyl groups, and hydroxyl groups can change the physical properties and chemical reactivity of organic silica gel in a wide range.


(3) Composite use with other materials: Although organic silica gel has many excellent properties, but there are also low strength, poor bonding with the substrate and other shortcomings, by grafting with epoxy, acrylic ester, polyurethane and other resins, block copolymerization modification, can achieve the effect of complementary performance.
