Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a protective layer for protecting skin and tissues in a vicinity of the skin, the method comprising the steps of: forming a mixture comprising approximately 15 wt. % of dimethyl-vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity greater than 20,000 mPa·s at 20-25° C., approximately 25 wt. % of dimethyl-vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity between 200 and 20,000 mPa·s at 20-25° C., approximately 45 wt. % of trimethyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, approximately 12 wt. % of trimethylsiloxy-treated pyrogenic silica, and approximately 3 wt. % of dimethyl-hydrogen-terminated co-polydimethylsiloxane-polymethyl-hydrogen-siloxane; polymerizing at least partially the mixture to obtain a polymer gel; and forming the protective layer using the polymer gel, the polymer gel having, at a temperature of 35° C. and when a shearing rate varies between 0 and 100 radians/second,
