矽有机化合物早在1844年就已在实验室中制得,但在不久以前还没有被充分应用。甚至著名的英国化学家F.S.吉平在1936年还说,矽有机化合物在工业上是没有什么用处的。然而,苏联化学家安德里阿诺夫於1937年就指出矽有机化合物有应用於国民经济的许多部门中去的可能性。由於安德里阿诺夫、 Silicone compounds were made in the laboratory as early as 1844, but have not been fully used until recently. Even the famous British chemist F.S. Jiping said in 1936 that silicones were not industrially useful. However, the Soviet chemist Andriyon pointed out in 1937 that the possibility of using the organosilicon compounds in many sectors of the national economy was high. As Andrianoov,
