Abstract
Fillerβfree silicones are believed to be more bloodβcompatible than those containing fillers. An ultrapure silicaβfree room temperature vulcanizing silicone system was prepared and characterized using a swelling experiment, an infrared spectrometer, an xβray spectrometer, a scanning electron microscope and neutron activation analysis. The polymer was found to be suitable for medical applications needing an extremely smooth surface.

The recent trend towards MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) to decrease the length of the required incision in the skin has increased surgical difficulty, since the open access area is small.

A chromium-free surface treatment method was developed for aluminum bodies. By adding fluorine ions and iron complex compounds to the current zinc phosphate pretreatment bath, an improved zinc phosphate film is formed on aluminum. Also, increasing the manganese in the pretreatment bath improves the
