Two types of fluorosilicone polymers are described, the poly (fluoroalkyl)siloxanes and the hybrid fluorocarbon silicones. The first type, represented by the structure (CF3CH 2CH2SiMeO)n exhibits good solvent resistance, thermal and oxidative stability and is commercially available in the form of rubber, sealants and fluids. The second type,
