Appendix
Milestone of Silicone industry 1863-1949 Dr. Frederick Stanley Kipping (Father of silicone, Grignard reaction) 1909-2002 E.G. Rochow started industrial production (GE, direct process, 1940 ) 1953/3/31 First silicone production in Japan Shinetsu Chemical (Bought Patent from GE) Originally developed for military and aerospace From NASA HOMEPAGE B-29 bomber in Word War II 1969/7/20 That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind
How is silicone from? Electricity C SiO2 Metallic Silicon Silicone SiO2 + C → Si + CO2 SiO2 + 2C → Si + 2CO SiO2 Metallic Silicon Methanol, HCl, Hydrolysis, Polymerization Silicone
Production methods of Silicone recycle
