Silicone with more than excellent

Silicone with more than excellent performance, it's extremely versatile. In addition to the aircraft for cockpit cover, windshield chords out of the window, also used as a jeep windshield and windows, large skylights building (can prevent broken), television and radar screens, instruments and equipment, protective cover, telecommunications instrument case , the optical telescope and camera lenses. Commodities produced with an array of organic silica gel, such as organic silicone with pearl buttons, toys, lamps also because of the decorative color silicone, but it is particularly beautiful. Silicone in medicine there is an excellent use, that is to create artificial cornea. If the human eye covered with a transparent cornea opaque material, light can not enter the eye. This is the total corneal blindness caused by vitiligo, but this disease can be treated with medicine. So, instead of physician conceived by artificial cornea is covered with white spots of the cornea. The so-called artificial cornea is made with a transparent material with a diameter of only a few millimeters of the lens column, the eye's cornea and then drill a small hole in the cornea to a fixed mirror column, the light entering the eye through the microscope column, the human eye can see again. As early as 1771, there ophthalmologist optical lens made of silica gel column, inside the cornea, but did not succeed. Later, instead of using crystal silicon optics, also used only half a year is invalid here. During World War II, some of the crash, the plane's cockpit with a silicone cover to do the bombing, the pilot's eyes, embedded in silicone debris. After many years later, although these fragments have not been removed, but did not lead to further human eye inflammation or other adverse reactions. This happened by chance silicone and human tissues shows a good compatibility. Also inspired an ophthalmologist, you can use silicone manufacturing artificial cornea, its good transparency, chemical stability, toxic to humans, easily processed into the required shape, and allowing others to eye long-term compatibility. Now, to do with silicone artificial cornea has been widely used for clinical.
