A simple method for the production of drug-impregnated silicone rubber implants for sustained-release drug administration is described. This method involves incorporating the drug in unpolymerized silicone rubber, adding catalyst, and casting the drug-silicone rubber mixture in a hemicylindrical sha

## Abstract Lightly crosslinked silicone rubber has been found to bond spontaneouly to polar substrates and to itself. The strength of adhesion increases linearly with time, eventually reaching the fracture strength of the rubber. The process is accelerated by raising the temperature (activation en
## Abstract In an effort to find a solution to the serious problem of bacterial colonization of cerebrospinalβfluid shunting devices, roomβtemperature and heatβvulcanizing silicone rubbers were impregnated with gentamicin sulphate. The effects on the mechanical properties of the two rubbers were st
The aim of our work was to develop a gelation process for polymerizing polydimethylsiloxane-a,v-diols for pharmaceutical purposes. Three different gelling agents has been tried; among them, the prehydrolyzed tetraethoxysilane (TES 40) had the best performance. As initiators, several amines were inve
