A dimensionally-stable organosilicon material composition and method for producing the material composition including noncrosslinkable, continuous phase silicone with silica filler material dispersed therethorugh, and having dissolved therein a variably-radiative material (e.g., ruthenium dye) responsive to the concentration of a selected analyte (e.g., oxygen), and the products of a reaction between water and a modifier material selected for establishing the sensitivity of said variably-radiative material to the selected analyte. |
