From the point of view of structure, silicone resin film forming agent is composed of silicon atom and oxygen atom as the basic elements, with three-dimensional network structure of polymer.
To understand structure, we must first understand the concept of "structural unit".
Silicone resin film forming agent of the basic structural units have the following four (for the convenience of description, organosilicone academia to M, D, T, Q as a symbol of abbreviation) : these structural units are to build silicone resin film forming agent monomer. According to the different basic structure classification, silicone resin can be divided into [T type silicone resin and MQ type silicone resin] two categories.
T type silicone resin to [polymethyl sesquisiloxane] as the basic structure, and MQ type silicone resin to [trimethyl silanoxy silicate ester] as the basic structure.
Although the "structural units" look simple and regular, the silicone resins they form are very complex and diverse, and their performance characteristics are therefore different.
