Hello /sci/, I'm an organic chemistry student, and one of my projects is going to be working with medical silicone and optimising its parameters (elasticity, yield strength, etc).

I know a bit about polymer chem, but I am hopelessly lost as to where do I find how common admixtures/curing techniques/curing parameters affect the physical properties, or even things like crosslinking/chain length.

Any books/journals/blogs/papers you would recommend?
