Development of emulsification resistant heavier-than-water tamponades using high molecular weight silicone oil polymers

Conclusion
Addition of a high molecular weight polymer to heavy silicone oil can increase the viscoelasticity. These findings might contribute to the development of emulsification resistant heavy silicone oils.
