Fibrous Organosilicon Polymers Derived from Silicates... 

A new, inherently fibrous organosilicon polymer having pendent trimethylsilyl groups is reported. 

Recently we have been seeking new types of organosilicon polymers with the hope of finding polymers having unique structures and interesting combinations of properties. Out of this work has come a new siloxane that is, at least in part, inherently fibrous. The fibers characteristic of it have very small diameters and are flexible and inert.
