What is silicone used for other than breast implants? How is silicone made?

Question

I need at least 10 things silicone is used for. It's history, and how it's made. Who made silicone in the first place?

The entire process of how we make silicone would be great. In detail please.

Answer 1

silicone is substance found in every rock, silicone is primiraily used in construction as heavy duity adheisive. It's much like if you took a rool of seran wrap (celopaine) and turned it into a luqid, it's basically plastic.
I would venture a guess to say silicone is mined from the earth, melted out of rocks, then chemically processed to give it it's gel properties.

I don't think I could name 10 things it's used in but I can try:
construction caulking
celopaine
breast implants
tv's
computer chips
cars (engine computers)
... basically everything modern, it has many different forms.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, enjoy your new fun bags.

Answer 2

What do you want from the implant should be your first question? Then seek the type that best matches that aim so you won't be dissapointed. Choosing an Implant You should consider the following when you and your surgeon are discussing implant options. Implant Status - Whether or not an implant is PMA-approved or investigational (not PMA-approved) should be something you consider (see the Status/Availability section for details). An implant that is investigational means you will need to be part of a clinical study to get these implants. In addition, the surgeon of your choice may work with only specific breast implants. Shape and Size - Depending on the desired shape and size you wish to achieve, you and your surgeon may choose a round or contoured implant shape of appropriate size (volume). You should be aware that contoured implants that are placed submuscular (under the pectoralis major muscle) may assume a round shape after implantation. Your surgeon will also evaluate your existing tissue to determine if you have enough to cover the breast implant. Implant Surface - Textured surface implants were designed to reduce the chance of capsular contracture. Some studies with small numbers of women suggest that surface texturing reduces the chance of severe capsular contracture. However, other studies of a large number of women with saline-filled implants show no difference in the likelihood of developing capsular contracture with textured implants when compared to smooth-surfaced implants. Implant Palpability/Visibility - The following may cause implants to be more palpable (more easily felt) or more visible: textured implants; larger implants; subglandular placement; and smaller amount of skin/tissue available to cover the implant.

Answer 3

Silicone is even found in some foods we eat. That is why breast implants that are silicone will not harm the body. I know that this probably doesn't help you but it is interesting.
