Beyond standard elastomers, Vinyl Terminated Silicone Fluid serves as a macromonomer for creating a wide range of custom silicone organic copolymers and modified silicones. Its terminal vinyl groups can participate in various reaction mechanisms beyond hydrosilylation, including:

Free Radical Reactions: The vinyl group can copolymerize with organic monomers like acrylates or styrene, leading to silicone-modified plastics with improved impact resistance, weatherability, and surface feel.

Thiol-Ene Chemistry: Reacting with multi-functional thiols via UV-initiated "click" chemistry to create novel networks for coatings and resins with precise spatial and temporal control over the curing process.

This versatility allows chemists to tailor material properties at a molecular level, creating hybrids that combine the best attributes of silicones (flexibility, stability) with those of organic polymers (rigidity, strength).
