Silicone, also known as we silicone, is a synthetic polymer that is made of smaller repeating chemical units (called monomers) that are bonded together in long chains. Silicones consist of a silicon-oxygen backbone, and "side chains" consist of hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group attached to a silicon atom. Because silicone's main chain contains no carbon, it is considered an inorganic polymer, and unlike many organic polymers, its main chain is made of carbon.
