Within this text, the synthetic chemistry, properties and applications of the full range of silicon-containing polymers are drawn together comprehensively in a single work. Siloxane, carbosilane, silazane, silane, silylalkylene, and silylarylene polymers are all included, as are special topics that include, amongst others, unusual structures, applications, and high performance characteristics. This text should serve as a reference text in its own right and also aims to point readers seeking even greater depth to the primary literature they need.
