Polymeric organic silicon compound in which some or all of the radical positions that could be occupied by carbon atoms are occupied by silicon. Used for heator water\u2010resistant lubricants, binders, and insulators.<\/p>\n
Silicon is a micromineral that is found in whole grains, some vegetables, and beer. It appears to be needed for the development of healthy bones and connective tissue. No studies are available to determine if there is an ergogenic role for silicon.<\/p>\n
Any of a group of compounds in which some or all of the carbon has been replaced by silicon. Silicone is unusually stable over a wide range of temperatures, it is extremely water-repellent, and it does not react chemically with other substances. Silicone is used extensively in adhesives, lubricants, protective coatings, paints, ceramics, and electrical insulation. In the past, silicone was used to make a prosthesis for a person who had a nonfunctioning or amputated body part, including breast replacement for women after a mastectomy, and for breast enlargements. Because of safety and leakage problems, most plastic surgeons now use saline-filled implants almost exclusively.<\/p>\n
Organic compounds of silicone, with a structure of alternate atoms of silicone and oxygen, and organic groups such as methyl and phenyl attached to the silicone atoms. As they produce a flexible and stable water-repellent film on the skin, they are used as barrier creams.<\/p>\n
An organic compound in which all or part of carbon has been replaced by silicon.<\/p>\n
Special type of oil used in hair conditioners, water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish dryers.<\/p>\n
An extensive molecular structure containing carbon, silicon, and oxygen. In certain instances of cosmetic surgery, synthetic silicone implants are employed. There exists a possibility of leakage, which might lead to autoimmune disorders, wherein the immune system targets the body’s own tissues.<\/p>\n
