Silicones generally refer to polysiloxane derivatives. One important property is the exchangeability of silicon-oxygen bonds; the second important property is its extremely low glass transition temperature. Also due to relatively weak intermolecular interactions, silicone usually has extremely low surface energy, allowing liquid silicone to wet most surfaces, while solid silicone rubber surfaces are not easily wetted by high surface energy liquids such as water. Because of these two properties, silicones are often used in waterproof coatings, release paper on the back of stickers, and baking paper.
