Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a polymer elastomer with silicon oxygen bonds as the main chain. Its unique molecular structure endows it with excellent high and low temperature resistance, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. From catheters and artificial organs in the medical field to baby pacifiers and baking molds, this material is silently permeating every corner of modern life. Compared with traditional rubber, liquid silicone rubber does not require high-temperature vulcanization during processing and can be precision manufactured through injection molding, greatly improving production efficiency and product consistency.
In the medical and health field, the non-toxic and anti-aging properties of liquid silicone rubber make it the first choice of implant grade materials. For example, artificial joint coatings and scar repair patches rely on their good compatibility with human tissues.
In the field of consumer electronics, the flexibility and insulation of LSR are used to manufacture waterproof sealing rings, keyboard protective covers, and even support layers for foldable screens. It is worth noting that with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, food grade liquid silicone rubber has gradually replaced traditional plastics as the new favorite of kitchen supplies due to its ability to withstand high temperature disinfection and not release harmful substances.
The research and development of liquid silicone rubber is still breaking through boundaries. Researchers are using modification technology to endow it with conductivity, heat conduction, or self-healing functions, exploring its potential in flexible electronics and smart wearable devices. The evolutionary history of this material is like a microcosm of humanity's relentless pursuit of perfect materials - from laboratory test tubes to the tactile sensation of fingertips, liquid silicone rubber is carrying the dual weight of technology and life with its soft body.
