Vinyl Functional Polymers
The reactivity of vinyl functional polymers is utilized in two major regimes.1 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:

Pt
O Si H + H2C CH Si O O Si CH 2CH 2 Si O
CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 CH 3
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

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 50°C, Room
Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV), cures between 50° and 130°C, Low Temperature Vulcanizing (LTV), and cures above 130°C, 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 typically
contains the vinyl-containing silicone and the platinum catalyst at a level of 5-10ppm, and the B part usually contains the hydride
functional siloxane.

Platinum Catalysts- see p. 65

Addition Cure Modifiers- see p. 66

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.
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. 65)
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 “shut-down” 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 sigma-blade 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).

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. The silicone rubbers derived from the gums by compounding reinforcing aents extenders and additives are devided into three
main classes: VMQ (Dimethyl Silicone/Regular Silicone), PVMQ (Diphenyl Dimethyl Silicone/Low Termperature Silicone) &
FVMQ (Fluorosilicone/Fuel Resistant Silicone).
Free radical coupling (cure) of vinyl and methyl groups is usually initiated by peroxides at process temperatures of 140°-
160°. 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)peroxide1,2. The last peroxide is particularly recommended for aromatic-containing 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 well established for gum rubber stocks,
its to 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 hydrosiloxanes are used to crosslink phenylsiloxanes because
of their greater solubility and closer refractive index match. The following chart gives some examples of starting ratios for common
polymers and crosslinkers calculated at 1.5 Hydride to Vinyl ratio.

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 water-repellency 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 110-150°C. Polymethylhydrosiloxane is most commonly employed.
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.
Reductions3
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.4,5,6 Esters are reduced to primary alcohols in the presence of Ti(OiPr)47.
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.1
10:1 ratio of A to B.

DMS-S45 silanol fluid 70% DMS-T21 100 cSt. silicone fluid 50%
SIS6964.0 silica powder 28% SIS6964.0 silica powder 45%
PSI-021 ethylsilicate 2% SND3260 DBTL tin catalyst 5%
This low tear strength formulation can be improved by substituting fumed silica for silica powder.
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.

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 >120°C 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. Phosphorylcholine derivatives have been utilized as coatings for extended wear contact lens 2.
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.3

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.

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.
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.

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-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 coatings1 and soft lithography stamps.2

Polydimethylsiloxanes with Hydrolyzable Functionality
Polydimethylsiloxanes with hydrolyzable functionality react with water to produce silanol terminated fluids of equivalent or
higher degrees of polymerization. Polymers with this category of reactivity are almost never directly hydrolyzed. Chlorine and
dimethylamine terminated fluids are usually employed in ordered chain extension and block polymer synthesis, particularly
urethanes and polycarbonates. Acetoxy and dimethylamine terminated fluids can also be used as unfilled bases for rapid cure RTVs.

Monodisperse Reactive Silicones via Anionic Living Polymerization

Monodisperse silicones offer certain advantages over standard telechelic silicones. They have a discrete molecular weight and
no low molecular weight non-functional cyclic siloxanes that can migrate out of the fluid or materials produced with them. Higher
molecular weight vinyl functional materials can be used as base silicones for 2-part RTVs.

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.

Reactive Silicone Emulsions

Emulsions of reactive silicones are playing an increasing role in formulation technology for water-borne systems. Primary
applications for silicone emulsions are in textile finishes, release coatings and automotive polishes. Silanol fluids are stable under
neutral conditions and have non-ionic emulsifiers. Aminoalkylalkoxysiloxanes are offered with cationic emulsifiers.

Water-borne silsesquioxane oligomers act as primers for metals, additives for acrylic latex sealants and as coupling agents for
siliceous surfaces.1 They offer both organic group and silanol functionality. These amphoteric materials are stable in water solutions
and, unlike conventional coupling agents, have very low VOCs.

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)

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

RSiO1.5
PolySilsesquioxanes and T-resins are highly crosslinked materials with the empirical formula RSiO . They are named from the
1.5
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.
Amorphous T8 cube 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 40°C most resins soften and become tacky, becoming
viscous liquids by 120°C. 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 insolvents such as methylethylketone for coating applications.

These materials are oligomeric alkoxysilane hydrolyzates and are the basis of coating resins. They can also be used as primer
coatings or to modify organic resins such as polyesters. They generate small amounts of alcohols as byproducts during cure.
Moisture-cure can be accelerated by adding 0.1-0.4wt% of titanates, such as AKT855 (p. 69).

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. Fluorinated polysilsesquioxanes demonstrate
tunable oleophobicity.4

Silicon-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).

Poisons for platinum catalysts used in vinyl-addition crosslinking must be avoided. Examples are:
Sulfur compounds (mercaptans, sulfates, sulfides, sulfites, thiols
and rubbers vulcanized with sulfur will inhibit contacting surfaces)
Nitrogen compounds (amides, amines, imides, nitriles)
Tin compounds (condensation-cure silicones, stabilized PVC)

the same and that viscosity is independent of shear rate, i.e., the fluid is Newtonian. To correct for density inconverting
