Some materials, such as poly(dimethyl siloxane) or PDMS, have a
wide variety of applications, such as breast implants, contact
lenses, and knuckle replacements. Other materials, such as
poly(propylene) (PP) are primarily used for only one application
(in this case, sutures). Using a popular search engine compare the
structures of PP and PDMS. Fill out the attached table. Using your
