T- and Q-rich Linear Silicones from the Piers-Rubinsztajn Reaction
Abstract
Most silicone polymers are linear compounds derived from dimethylsiloxane (D) monomers; the incorporation of tri- (T) and tetra-functional (Q) monomers usually leads to elastomers. MQ or MT resins, high value materials used as reinforcing agents, are exceptions in that they are very highly branched, and highly reticulated but remain mobile and fluid. We report the formation of analogous linear T- and Q-rich polymers. The Piers-Rubinsztajn (PR) …
