Use of Silicone Materials in Modern Structures of Highly Functional Technical Means of Rehabilitation

Abstract

The choice of silicone materials for manufacturing of technical means of rehabilitation of high functionality has been validated. Comparison of physical mechanical properties of domestically produced high-temperature silicones with the materials produced by leading European companies has been carried out. The use of the particular brand of domestically produced high-temperature silicones is recommended according to strength and elastic properties for different groups of products. Efficiency of use of high-temperature silicones in manufacturing of components for prostheses, including bionic ones, has been specified.
