Vinyl Functional Polymers

The reactivity of vinyl functional polymers is utilized in two major regimes. Vinyl terminated polymers are employed in addition cure systems. The bond forming chemistry is the platinum catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction which proceeds according to the following equation:
O O Si H + H2C CH 3 CH 3 CH Si O CH 3 Pt O CH 3 CH 3 O CH 3
O Si CH 2CH 2 Si
Vinylmethylsiloxane copolymers and vinyl T-structure fluids are mostly employed in peroxide activated cure systems which involve peroxide induced free radical coupling between vinyl and methyl groups. Concomitant and subsequent reactions take place among methyl groups and between crosslink sites and methyl groups. The initial crosslinking reaction is depicted in the following equation:
O O Si CH 3 CH 3 + H2C O CH Si O CH 3 RO -ROH O O Si O CHCH 2CH 2Si O CH 3
CH 3
Addition Cure (Platinum Cure) Addition cure chemistry provides an extremely flexible basis for formulating silicone elastomers. An important feature of the cure system is that no byproducts are formed, allowing fabrication of parts with good dimensional stability. Cures below 50C, Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV), cures between 50 and 130C, Low Temperature Vulcanizing (LTV), and cures above 130C, High Temperature Vulcanizing (HTV), are all readily achieved by addition cure. The rheology of the systems can also be varied widely, ranging from dip-cures to liquid injection molding (LIM) and conventional heat-cure rubber (HCR) processing. Vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes with viscosities greater than 200 cSt generally have less than 2% volatiles and form the base polymers for these systems. More typically, base polymers range from 1000 to 60,000 cSt. The crosslinking polymer is generally a methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer with 15-50 mole % methylhydrosiloxane. The catalyst is usually a complex of platinum in alcohol, xylene, divinylsiloxanes or cyclic vinylsiloxanes. The system is usually prepared in two parts. By convention, the A part usually contains the platinum at a level of 5-10ppm, and the B part usually contains the hydride functional siloxane. Formulation of addition cure silicones must address the following issues: Strength- Unfilled silicones have extremely poor mechanical properties and will literally crumble under pressure from a fingernail. The most effective reinforcing filler is hexamethyldisilazane treated fumed silica. Alternatively, if clarity must be maintained, vinyl Q reinforcing resins are employed.
Gelest, Inc.
Hardness- Higher crosslink density provides higher durometer elastomers. Gels are weakly crosslinked systems and even contain substantial quantities of free fluids. In principal, molar equivalents of hydrides react with vinyls. See the section on hydride functional fluids for further information. Also, polymers with vinyl pendant on the chain rather than at chain ends are utilized to modify hardness and compression set. Consistency- The viscosity of the base polymer and a variety of low surface area fillers ranging from calcium carbonate to precipitated silica are used to control the flow characteristics of silicone elastomers. Temperature of Cure- Selection of platinum catalysts generally controls the preferred temperature of cure.1 Platinum in vinyldisiloxanes is usually used in room temperature cures. Platinum in cyclic vinylsiloxanes is usually used in high temperature cures. See the Platinum listings in the catalyst section.(p.53) Work Time (Speed of Cure)- Apart from temperature, moderators (sometimes called retarders) and inhibitors are used to control work time. Moderators slow, but do not stop platinum catalysts. A typical moderator is tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane. Inhibitors stop or shutdown platinum catalysts and therefore are fugitive, i.e volatile or decomposed by heat or light (UV). Acetylenic alcohols such as methylisobutynol are volatile inhibitors. Patent literature shows that t-butylhydroperoxide is an effective inhibitor that breaks down at temperatures above 130. Low Temperature Properties, Optical Properties- The introduction of vinyl polymers with phenyl groups alters physical properties of elastomers. At levels of 3-4 mole %, phenyl groups improve low temperature properties. At higher levels, they are used to alter refractive index of elastomers, ranging from matching fillers for transparency to optical fiber applications. Unfortunately, increased phenyl substitution lowers mechanical properties of elastomers. Shelf Life- A fully compounded elastomer is a complex system. Shelf-life can be affected by moisture, differential adsorption of reactive components by fillers and inhibitory effects of trace impurities. Empirical adjustments of catalyst and hydride levels are made to compensate for these effects. Compounding- All but the lowest consistency elastomers are typically compounded in sigmablade mixers, planetary mixers, two-roll mills or, for large scale production, twin-screw extruders.
Quick Start Formulation - Transfer and Impression Molding Elastomer This low strength formulation is useful as a reproductive molding compound. It is presented here because it can be prepared without special equipment and is an instructive starting point for addition cure silicone elastomers. DMS-V31 1000 cSt vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane 100 parts SIS6962.0 hexamethyldisilazane treated silica 50 parts HMS-301 methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer 3-4 parts SIP6830.3 platinum complex solution 150-200ppm In small portions, work the DMS-V31 into the silica with a spatula. After a uniform dispersion is produced, work in the HMS-301. The blend may be stored in this form. Just prior to use add the platinum solution with an eyedropper and work it in rapidly. Working time is 5-10 minutes. The rate of cure can be retarded by adding tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (SIT7900.0).

SILICONES
Gelest, Inc.
Peroxide Activated Cure Activated cure silicone elastomers are processed by methods consistent with conventional rubbers. These silicone products are referred to as HCRs (heat cured rubbers). The base stocks are high molecular weight linear polydiorganosiloxanes that can be converted from a highly viscous plastic state into a predominantly elastic state by crosslinking. Vinylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers of extremely high molecular weights are the typical base stocks for activated cure silicone elastomers. The base stocks are commonly referred to as gums. Gums typically have molecular weights from 500,000 to 900,000 with viscosities exceeding 2,000,000 cSt. Free radical coupling (cure) of vinyl and methyl groups is usually initiated by peroxides at process temperatures of 140160. Generally, peroxide loading is 0.2-1.0%. Following the cure, a post-cure at 25-30 higher temperature removes volatile peroxide decomposition products and stabilizes polymer properties. The most widely used peroxides include dibenzoylperoxide (often as a 50% concentrate in silicone oil), dicumylperoxide (often 40% on calcium carbonate), 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-t-butylperoxyhexane and bis(dichlorobenzoyl)peroxide. The last peroxide is particularly recommended for aromaticcontaining siloxanes. Terpolymer gums containing low levels of phenyl are used in low temperature applications. At increased phenyl concentrations, they are used in high temperature and radiation resistant applications and are typically compounded with stabilizing fillers such as iron oxide. Phenyl groups reduce cross-linking efficiency of peroxide systems and result in rubbers with lower elasticity. Fluorosilicone materials offer solvent resistance. Lower molecular weight vinylsiloxanes are frequently added to modify processability of base stocks. While the use of peroxide activated cure chemistry for vinylmethylsiloxanes is wellestablished for gum rubber stocks, its use is growing in new applications that are comparable to some peroxide cure acrylic systems. Relatively low viscosity vinylmethylsiloxanes and vinyl T-fluids are employed as grafting additives to EPDM elastomers in the wire and cable industry to improve electrical properties. They also form reactive internal lubricants for vulcanizeable rubber formulations. At low levels they are copolymerized with vinyl monomers to form surfactants for organosols.

Hydride Functional Polymers

Hydride functional siloxanes undergo three main classes of reactivity: hydrosilylation, dehydrogenative coupling and hydride transfer. Hydrosilylation
Dehydrogenative Coupling
Reduction
Hydrosilylation - Addition Cure The hydrosilylation of vinyl functional siloxanes by hydride functional siloxanes is the basis of addition cure chemistry used in 2-part RTVs and LTVs.1,2 The most widely used materials for these applications are methylhydrosiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers which have more readily controlled reactivity than the homopolymers and result in tougher polymers with lower cross-link density. The preferred catalysts for the reactions are platinum complexes such as SIP6830.3 and SIP6832.2. In principle, the reaction of hydride functional siloxanes with vinyl functional siloxanes takes place at 1:1 stoichiometry. For filled systems, the ratio of hydride to vinyl is much higher, ranging from 1.3:1 to 4.5:1. The optimum cure ratio is usually determined by measuring the hardness of cured elastomers at different ratios. Phenyl substituted

The hydrosilylation of olefins is utilized to generate alkyl and arylalkyl substituted siloxanes which form the basis of organic compatible silicone fluids. The hydrosilylation of functional olefins provides the basis for formation of silicone block polymers. Dehydrogenative Coupling - Water Repellency, Foamed Silicones Hydroxyl functional materials react with hydride functional siloxanes in the presence bis(2-ethylhexanoate)tin, dibutyldilauryltin, zinc octoate, iron octoate or a variety of other metal salt catalysts. The reaction with hydroxylic surface groups is widely used to impart waterrepellency to glass, leather, paper and fabric surfaces and powders. A recent application is in the production of water-resistant gypsum board. Application is generally from dilute (0.5-2.0%) solution in hydrocarbons or as an emulsion. The coatings are generally cured at 110-150C. Polymethylhydrosiloxane is most commonly employed. Polyethylhydrosiloxane imparts waterrepellency, but has greater organic compatibility. Silanol terminated polydimethylsiloxanes react with hydride functional siloxanes to produce foamed silicone materials. In addition to the formal chemistry described above, the presence of oxygen and moisture also influences cross-link density and foam structure. Reduction Polymethylhydrosiloxane is a versatile low cost hydride transfer reagent. It has a hydride equivalent weight of 60. Reactions are catalyzed by Pd0 or dibutyltin oxide. The choice of reaction conditions leads to chemoselective reduction, e.g. allyl reductions in the presence of ketones and aldehydes.3,4,5 Esters are reduced to primary alcohols in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4.6 See brochure Silicon-Based Reducing Agents. Physical Properties Polymethylhydrosiloxanes exhibit the highest compressibility of the silicone fluids, 9.32% at 20,000 psi and the lowest viscosity temperature coefficient, 0.50.

Terminal silanol groups render polydimethylsiloxanes susceptible to condensation under both mild acid and base conditions. They are intermediates for most room temperature vulcanizeable (RTV) silicones. Low molecular weight silanol fluids are generally produced by kinetically controlled hydrolysis of chlorosilanes. Higher molecular weight fluids can be prepared by equilibrating low molecular weight silanol fluids with cyclics, equilibrium polymerization of cyclics with water under pressure or methods of polymerization that involve hydrolyzeable end caps such as methoxy groups. Low molecular weight silanol fluids can be condensed to higher molecular weight silanol fluids by utilization of chlorophosphazene (PNCl2) catalysts. Condensation cure one-part and two-part RTV systems are formulated from silanol terminated polymers with molecular weights ranging from 15,000 to 150,000. One-part systems are the most widely used. One-part systems are crosslinked with moisture-sensitive multi-functional silanes in a two stage reaction. In the first stage, after compounding with fillers, the silanol is reacted with an excess of multi-functional silane. The silanol is in essence displaced by the silane. This is depicted below for an acetoxy system.

The silicone now has two groups at each end that are extremely susceptible to hydrolysis. The silicone is stored in this form and protected from moisture until ready for use. The second stage of the reaction takes place upon use. When the end groups are exposed to moisture, a rapid crosslinking reaction takes place.

The most common moisture cure systems are: Acetoxy Enoxy Oxime Alkoxy Amine
The crosslinking reaction of alkoxy systems are catalyzed by titanates, frequently in combination with tin compounds and other metal-organics. Acetoxy one-part systems usually rely solely on tin catalysts. The tin level in one-part RTV systems is minimally about 50ppm with a ratio of ~2500:1 for Si-OR to Sn, but typical formulations have up to ten times the minimum. Other specialty crosslinking systems include benzamido and mixed alkoxyamino. The organic (non-hydrolyzeable) substituents on the crosslinkers influence the speed of cure. Among the widely used crosslinkers vinyl substituted is the fastest: vinyl > methyl > ethyl >> phenyl. Two-part condensation cure silanol systems employ ethylsilicates (polydiethoxysiloxanes) such as PSI-021 as crosslinkers and dialkyltincarboxylates as accelerators. Tin levels in these systems are minimally 500ppm, but typical formulations have up to ten times the minimum. Two-part systems are inexpensive, require less sophisticated compounding equipment, and are not subject to inhibition. The following is a starting point formulation for a two-part RTV. 10:1 ratio of A to B.

Incorporation of hydride functional (Si-H) siloxanes into silanol elastomer formulations results in foamed structures. The blowing agent is hydrogen which forms as a result of silanol condensation with hydrosiloxanes. Foam systems are usually two components which are compounded separately and mixed shortly before use. Condensation Cure Catalysts- see p. 56 Condensation Cure Crosslinkers- see p. 55

Silanol terminated diphenylsiloxane copolymers are employed to modify low temperature properties or optical properties of silicone RTVs. They are also utilized as flow control agents in polyester coatings. Diphenylsiloxane homopolymers are glassy materials with softening points >120C that are used to formulate coatings and impregnants for electrical and nuclear applications. The reactivity of silanol fluids is utilized in applications other than RTVs. Low viscosity silanol fluids are employed as filler treatments and structure control additives in silicone rubber compounding. Intermediate viscosity, 1000-10,000 cSt. fluids can be applied to textiles as durable fabric softeners. High viscosity silanol terminated fluids form the matrix component in tackifiers and pressure sensitive adhesives.

Amino Functional Silicones

Aminoalkylfunctional silicones have a broad array of applications as a result of their chemical reactivity, their ability to form hydrogen bonds and, particularly in the case of diamines, their chelating ability. Additional reactivity can be built into aminoalkyl groups in the form of alkoxy groups. Aminoalkylsiloxanes are available in the three classes of structures typical for silicone polymers: terminated, pendant group and T-structure. Aminopropyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes react to form a variety of polymers including polyimides, polyureas1 and polyurethanes. Block polymers based on these materials are becoming increasingly important in microelectronic (passivation layer) and electrical (low-smoke generation insulation) applications. They are also employed in specialty lubricant and surfactant applications.
Amino functionality pendant from the siloxane backbone is available in two forms: (aminopropyl)-methylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers and (aminoethylaminopropyl)methylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers. They are frequently used in modification of polymers such as epoxies and urethanes, internal mold releases for nylons and as lubricants, release agents and components in coatings for textiles and polishes. Aminoalkyl T-structure silicones are primarily used as surface treatments for textiles and finished metal polishes (e.g. automotive car polishes). The resistance to wash-off of these silicones is frequently enhanced by the incorporation of alkoxy groups which slowly hydrolyze and form crosslink or reactive sites under the influence of the amine. The same systems can be reacted with perfluorocarboxylic acids to form low surface energy (<7 dynes/cm) films.2

Epoxy Functional Silicones Difunctional and multifunctional epoxy silicones include lower molecular weight siloxanes with discrete structures and higher molecular weight silicones with either pendant or terminal epoxy functionalization. Depending on specific structures and formulations, they selectively impart a wide range of properties, associated with silicones - low-stress, low temperature properties, dielectric properties and release. Properties of cured silicone modified epoxies vary from hydrophilic to hydrophobic depending on the epoxy content, degree of substitution and ring-opening of epoxides to form diols. The ring-strained epoxycyclohexyl group is more reactive than the epoxypropoxy group and undergoes thermally or chemically induced reactions with nucleophiles including protic surfaces such as cellulosics of polyacrylate resins. The compatibility of epoxy functional silicones with conventional epoxies varies. In simple unfilled systems, total solubility is required. For filled systems, it is often desireable to consider systems that are miscible but have only limited solubility since microphase separation can allow a mechanism for stress-relief. Epoxysilicones with methoxy groups can be used to improve adhesion to substrates such as titanium, glass or silicon. They also can improve chemical resistance of coatings by forming siloxane crosslinks upon exposure to moisture.

Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Silanes and Silicones These materials, characterized by a combination of cycloaliphatic and siloxane structures, have outstanding weathering characteristics, controlled release and coefficient of friction and excellent electrical properties. They can be cured either by cationic UV photoinitiators or conventional epoxy hardeners. In cationic UV-cure systems the cycloaliphatic epoxy silicones combine the properties of reactive diluents with surfactant properties. The release properties can be employed to make parting layers for multilayer films. If high levels of epoxy functional silicones are used in UV cure formulations, cationic photoinitiators with hydrophobic substitution are preferred.

Carbinol Functional Silicones Carbinol (Hydroxy) Functional Siloxanes The term carbinol refers to a hydroxyl group bound to carbon (C-OH) and is frequently used in silicone chemistry to differentiate them from hydroxyl groups bound to silicon (Si-OH) which are referred to as silanols. Carbinol terminated siloxanes contain primary hydroxyl groups which are linked to the siloxane backbone by non-hydrolyzeable transition groups. Frequently a transition block of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide is used. Carbinol functional polydimethylsiloxanes may be reacted into polyurethanes, epoxies, polyesters and phenolics.
Applications include additives for urethane leather finishes and as reactive internal lubricants for polyester fiber melt spinning. They are also utilized as surfactants and processing aids for dispersion of particles in silicone formulations. Polyethyleneoxide transition blocks are more polar than polypropyleneoxide blocks and maintain a broad range of liquid behavior. Carbinol terminated siloxanes with caprolactone transition blocks offer a highly polar component which enables compatibility in a variety of thermoplastic resins. Carbinol functional Macromers - see Macromers p.37.

Methacrylate and Acrylate Functional Siloxanes Methacrylate and Acrylate functional siloxanes undergo the same reactions generally associated with methacrylates and acrylates, the most conspicuous being radical induced polymerization. Unlike vinylsiloxanes which are sluggish compared to their organic counterparts, methacrylate and acrylate siloxanes have similar reactivity to their organic counterparts. The principal applications of methacrylate functional siloxanes are as modifiers to organic systems. Upon radical induced polymerization, methacryloxypropyl terminated siloxanes by themselves only increase in viscosity. Copolymers with greater than 5 mole % methacrylate substitution crosslink to give non-flowable resins. Acrylate functional siloxanes cure at greater than ten times as fast as methacrylate functional siloxanes on exposure to UV in the presence of a photoinitiator such as ethylbenzoin. They form permeable membranes for fiber-optic oxygen and glucose sensors.1 Oxygen is an inhibitor for methacrylate polymerization in general. The high oxygen permeability of siloxanes usually makes it necessary to blanket these materials with nitrogen or argon in order to obtain reasonable cures.

Mercapto and Chloroalkyl Functional Silicones
Mercapto-functional Silicones Mercapto-functional siloxanes strongly adsorb onto fibers and metal surfaces. High performance toner fluids for reprographic applications are formulated from mercapto-fluids. As components in automotive polishes they are effective rust inhibitors. They act as internal mold release agents for rubber and semi-permanent lubricants for automotive weather stripping. Mercapto-fluids are valuable additives in cosmetic and hair care products. They also undergo radical initiated (including UV) addition to unsaturated resins. Homopolymers are used as crosslinkers for vinylsiloxanes in rapid UV cure fiber optic coatings.1

SILICONES
Gelest, Inc.
Macromers and Monofunctional Silicones

Macromers are relatively high molecular weight species with a single functional polymerizeable group which, although used as monomers, have high enough molecular weight or internal monomer units to be considered polymers. A macromer has one end-group which enables it to act as a monomer molecule, contributing only a single monomeric unit to a chain of the final macromolecule. The term macromer is a contraction of the word macromonomer. Copolymerization of macromers with traditional monomers offers a route to polymers that are usually associated with grafting. Macromers provide a mechanism for introducing pendant groups onto a polymer backbone with conditions consistent with radical, condensation or step-growth polymerization but result in pendant groups that are usually associated with significantly different polymerization conditions and significantly different physical properties than the main polymer chain. Siloxane macromers afford a mechanism for introducing a variety of desirable properties without disrupting the main chain integrity of an organic polymer. Two general classes of siloxane macromers are available: asymmetric and symmetric. Asymmetric macromers have been the most widely used, but symmetric monomers which open a path for hyper-branched polymers are anticipated to have increased commercial utilization. Macromers are primarily defined by the functional group anticipated to be the reactive functionality in a polymerization. Other modifications usually effect a greater degree of compatibility with the proposed bulk polymer. These include modifying or replacing the most widely used siloxane building block, dimethylsiloxane, with other siloxanes, typically trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane. MonoAminopropyl Terminated PolyDimethylsiloxanes MonoAminopropyl Terminated PolyDimethylsiloxanes are most widely used as intermediates for acrylamide functional macromers or as terminating groups for polyamides and polyimides.

Mono(dicarbinol) terminated polydimethylsiloxanes are macromers with diol termination on one end of a polydimethylsiloxane chain. In contrast with telechelic carbinol terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, they have the unique ability to react with isocyanates to form urethanes with pendant silicone groups. In this configuration the mechanical strength of the polyurethane is maintained while properties such as hydrophobicity, release and low dynamic coefficient of friction are achieved. For example, a 2 wgt % incorporation of MCR-C61 or MCR-C62 into an aromatic urethane formulation increases water contact angle from 78 to 98. The reduction of coefficient of friction and increased release of urethanes formulated with diol terminated macromers has led to their acceptance as additives in synthetic leather.

Polymeric Metal Alkoxides

Polymeric metal alkoxides fall into two main classes: oxo-bridged, which can be regarded as partially hydrolyzed metal alkoxides, and alkoxide bridged which can be regarded as organo diester alkoxides. Both classes have the advantages of high metal content and low volatility. Polymeric metal alkoxides are used primarily as curing agents for 2-part RTVs and in the preparation of binders and coatings including investment casting resins and zinc-rich paints. The latter appplications can be considered as special examples of Sol-Gel technology. Sol-Gel is a method for preparing specialty metal oxide glasses and ceramics by hydrolyzing a chemical precursor or mixture of chemical precursors that pass sequentially through a solution state and a gel state before being dehydrated to a glass or ceramic. Sol-Gel Process Technology and Chemistry Preparation of metal oxides by the sol-gel route proceeds through three basic steps: 1) partial hydrolysis of metal alkoxides to form reactive monomers; 2) the polycondensation of these monomers to form colloid-like oligomers (sol formation); 3) additional hydrolysis to promote polymerization and cross-linking leading to a 3-dimensional matrix (gel formation). Although presented sequentially, these reactions occur simultaneously after the initial processing stage. MONOMER FORMATION (PARTIAL HYDROLYSIS)
SOL FORMATION (POLYCONDENSATION)

Gelest, Inc.
GELATION (CROSS-LINKING)
As polymerization and cross-linking progress, the viscosity of the sol gradually increases until the sol-gel transition point is reached. At this point the viscosity abruptly increases and gelation occurs. Further increases in cross-linking are promoted by drying and other dehydration methods. Maximum density is achieved in a process called densification in which the isolated gel is heated above its glass transition temperature. The densification rate and transition (sintering) temperature are influenced primarily by the morphology and composition of the gel.

PolySilsesquioxanes and T-resins are highly crosslinked materials with the empirical formula RSiO1.5. They are named from the organic group and a one and a half (sesqui) stoichiometry of oxygen bound to silicon. T-resin, an alternate designation, indicates that there are three (Tri-substituted) oxygens substituting the silicon. Both designations simplify the complex structures that have now come to be associated with these polymers. A variety of paradigms have been associated with the structure of these resins ranging from amorphous to cubes containing eight silicon atoms, sometimes designated as T8 structures. Ladder structures have been attributed to these resins, but the current understanding is that in most cases these are hypothetical rather than actual structures.

Hypothetical Ladder
Polysilsesquioxanes are used as matrix resins for molding compounds, catalyst supports and coating resins. As dielectric, planarization and reactive ion etch resistant layers, they find application in microelectronics. As abrasion resistant coatings they protect plastic glazing and optics. As preceramic coatings they convert to silicon dioxide, silicon oxycarbide, and silicon carbide depending on the oxidizing conditions for the high temperature thermal conversion. Polysilsesquioxane resins containing silanols (hydroxyls) can be cured at elevated temperatures. Formulation and catalysis is generally performed at room-temperature or below. At temperatures above 40C most resins soften and become tacky, becoming viscous liquids by 120C. The condensation of silanols leads to cure and the resins become tough binders or films. The cure is usually accelerated by the addition of 0.1-0.5% of a catalyst such as dibutyltindiacetate, zinc acetate or zinc 2-ethylhexanoate. The resins can also be dispersed in solvents such as methylethylketone for coating applications.

Specialty polysilsesquioxanes
Specialty polysilsesquioxanes can be utilized as models and precursors for silica surfaces and zeolites. If a silicon is removed from a T8 cube, the open position of the remaining T7 cube can be substituted with catalytically active metals.1 T7 cubes can be converted to functionalized T8 cubes. Functionalized T8 cubes are sometimes designated POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) monomers. Methacrylate T8 cubes can be copolymerized with a variety of monomers to form homopolymers and copolymers. The polymers may be viewed structurally as nanocomposites or hybrid inorganic-organic polymers. The cube structures impart excellent mechanical properties and high oxygen permeability.2 Hydride substituted T8 cubes can be introduced into vinyl-addition silicone rubbers.3 T8 cubes in which all silicon atoms are substituted with hydrogen have demonstrated utility as flowable oxide precursors in microelectronics.

Sibrid Silicone-Organic Hybrids with Hydrolyzable Functionality

Hybrid organic inorganic polymers containing alkoxy substitutions on silicon allow formulation of moisture cure adhesives, sealants and elastomers with physical properties, including adhesion and strength, which are significantly higher than conventional silicones. Moisture produces a condensation cure analogous to moisture cure silicones. Preferred catalysts are dibutylbispentanedionatetin, dimethyldineodecanoate tin and dibutyldilauryltin at levels of 0.2-1.0%. In order to allow through section cure, maximum thickness is usually 1/4, (5mm). Polyether
