Silicone is an orthoputic material that expands after being contained in a certain area for a certain period of time. That is why individuals who undergo cosmetic surgery often have to remove or change them because silicone will continue to expand (and while in the body) will explode.

Why when water in the crack in rocks freezes and expand?

In what form is silicon found?

By what percentage does water expand when it is frozen?

Does oil expand when frozen?
by 'the law of non-compress ability of liquid' a liquid can neither be compressed nor be expanded. Between 3'C and 0'C water does expand with a decrease in temperature. Water at 3'C is the densest; water at 0'C is the lightest. This is the only interval for Ice I on which it expands with decreasing temperature.
Why is water the only substance that expands when frozen?
Nope. Silicon(Si), Gallium(Ga), Antimony(Sb), Bismuth(Bi) and acetic acid(CH3COOH, vinegar) all expand on freezing as well. Moreover, silicon expands more than water on freezing (10% compared to waters 8%). The trick to this is that any substance with an open tetrahedral molecular structure will also expand upon freezing. (Perhaps phosphorus oxide(s))
Does jelly expand when being cooled and left to set?
