what is silicon wool?

I believe that is one of the available silica textiles.  It is likely the small rectangle of material I purchased to place beteen a wooden wall and a copper pipe to prevent a fire when I had to use a butane torch to solder (sweat) a copper fitting an inch away from the wall!  Worked great and it was reusable (many times).  It has an aluminum backing for strength and moldability.

Geo-textile is a woven or non-woven fabric used to help bridge soils and stabilize them.  The most likely use would be between two layers of soils with differing particle sizes.  If used in the construction phase a slurry of soil and water may be pumped to the dam site and the geo-textile might be used to retain the soil and let the water drain leaving the soil to build the dam.

Silicon has an extensive use in solar cells and electrical ic chips. its is because it is a semiconductor and also widely available compared to other substitutes. Though in recent times the sources of silicon has become scarce. The bandgap of germanium is different from silicon and is used for other purposes though not extensively as silicon. these two were the first semiconductors with industrial applications. nowadays a lot other kinds of semiconductor materials are in use.

In general, if the attractive forces between the particles is high, more energy is needed to overcome these forces and the melting point is high. Aluminium has a metallic structure, but silicon has a giant covalent lattice structure, like diamond. the melting point of silicon is higher because the bonding within its structure is very strong (stronger than that of aluminium), and so is harder to break.

Silicone is just plastic made by polymerizing something like a bulky chemical (styrene).  In English, link lots of tiny rigid particles together to make something stretchy but durable.

It is used in microchips. Silicon is a semi-conductor which means it falls somewhere midline between a conductor of electricity & an insulator which does not conduct electricity.\n\nIt is found in virtually everything: cement, china, microchips, paints, etc. Don't forget those little packs you find in your shoe box that absorb moisture.\n\n:)

I think you can use something called silica crystals! I know my dad us to use it when we were kids! Was great!

If you mean polysesquisiloxane ( a cosmetic silicone ) try Dow Corning or Wacker for industrial quantities. If you are after small quantities, try \n\n www.soaperschoice.com

First layer should be polypropylene then the next layer should be wool the polypropylene will repel water away from your feet the wool will act like an insulator

Neither. \n\nUsing the term silica is not specific enough to describe a mineral. There are forms of biogenic silica that cannot be considered a mineral by definition. \n\nTo be a mineral the silica would have to be quartz, or some other mineral formed from SiO2, of which there are many. \n\nSilicone dioxide may be used as a trace nutrient and apparently plays some role in bone, skin and hair. However, there is no established recommended daily value, and it is likely that humans receive enough SiO2 dissolved in their tap water to satisfy the need. Many public water supplies actually have more SiO2 dissolved in the water than they do calcium carbonate.  I know this from my own laboratory analyses of drinking water while in grad school. \n\nHowever, I am still saying that silica is not a nutrient in rocks, because it must be dissolved before it can be utilized as a nutrient, and eating silica in solid form would not be of any benefit because it would not dissolve in the digestive system

what u are creating is a electronic field which in turn creates a magnetic field which is not too good for anything with silicone chips, example laptops...... it can erase ur memory or even wipe ur full laptop that will render it unuseable or worse, make the battery blow up...\nHope this helps\nGod bless

Silica gel is white. Silica gel is insoluble in water.
