As an organic polymer, poly(tetramethylene oxide) was also used for the preparation of ceramers. The mechanical properties in these cases were much improved in comparison with those for hybrids from polysiloxanes. In these poly (tetramethylene oxide)-silica hybrids, the effect of the number of functional triethoxysilyl groups was examined [13]. As shown in Fig. 2, more multifunctional organic polymer produced more crosslinked hybrid networks. This means that the more rigid the structure in the hybrids is, the higher the modulus and the lower swelling property. 

Hydrosilation reactions have been one of the earlier techniques utilized in the preparation of siloxane containing block copolymers 22,23). A major application of this method has been in the synthesis of polysiloxane-poly(alkylene oxide) block copolymers 23), which find extensive applications as emulsifiers and stabilizers, especially in the urethane foam formulations 23-43). These types of reactions are conducted between silane (Si H) terminated siloxane oligomers and olefinically terminated poly-(alkylene oxide) oligomers. Consequently the resulting system contains (Si—C) linkages between different segments. Earlier developments in the field have been reviewed 22, 23,43> Recently hydrosilation reactions have been used effectively by Ringsdorf 255) and Finkelmann 256) for the synthesis of various novel thermoplastic liquid crystalline copolymers where siloxanes have been utilized as flexible spacers. Introduction of flexible siloxanes also improved the processibility of these materials. 

Siloxane containing polyester, poly(alkylene oxide) and polystyrene type copolymers have been used to improve the heat resistance, lubricity and flow properties of epoxy resin powder coatings 43). Thermally stable polyester-polysiloxane segmented copolymers have been shown to improve the flow, antifriction properties and scratch resistance of acrylic based auto repair lacquers 408). Organohydroxy-terminated siloxanes are also effective internal mold release agents in polyurethane reaction injection molding processes 409).

A novel polysiloxane, containing the isocyanide group pendent to the backbone, has been synthesized. It is observed to react with the metal vapors of chromium, iron and nickel to afford binary metal complexes of the type M(CN-[P])n, where n = 6, 5, 4 respectively, in which the polymer-attached isocyanide group provides the stabilization for the metal center. The product obtained from the reaction with Fe was found to be photosensitive yielding the Fe2(CN-[P])q species and extensive cross-linking of the polymer. The Cr and Ni products were able to be oxidized on exposure of thin films to the air, or electrochemically in the presence of an electron relay. The availability of different oxidation states for the metals in these new materials gives hope that novel redox-active polymers may be accessible. 

The feasibility of bonding pyridinyl groups to silicon which contains a hydrolytically sensitive functional group has recently been demonstrated 15-71. 2-Fluoro-3-(dimethylchlorosilyl)pyridine and 3-fluoro-4-(dimethylchloiosilyl)pyridine as well as 2-, 3-, and 4-(dimethylchlorosilyl)pyridine were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding lithiopyridines with excess Me2SiCl2- Hydrolysis of the pyridinyl substituted chlorosilanes gave disiloxanes which were insoluble in water. In the present report we will describe extension of this work to include pyridinyl dichlorosilanes which can be hydrolyzed to polysiloxanes. These polymers can be N-oxidized and the resultant derivatives have been shown to be effective hydrophobic transacylation catalysts. 

Polyquaternary compound Shrink-resist effect after pre-oxidation Exceptional improvement in fastness All processing stages suitable Improves shrink-resist effect of polyether and polysiloxane types No improvement in handle Shrink-resist effect weaker than with other types Odour possible on chlorinated wool... 

The temperature resistance of the polysiloxane on the samples was tested by stepwise heating up to 500°C. Whereas the pure hydrolysis product undergoes a complete thermal degradation via oxidative conversion of the CH3-Si groups into HO-Si groups, the polysiloxane persists on the silica sample. This stabilization effect most likely results from the covalent attachment of the methyl-polysiloxane.

When anti-2 was oxidized with 3 equivalents of MCPBA, the trioxidation product 11 was obtained in 81% yield (Scheme 7). Similarly, the oxidation of anti,anti-3 and anti,anti,anti-4 with 4 and 5 equivalents of MCPBA gave the tetraoxidation product 12 and the pentaoxidation product 13, respectively, in moderate yields. Therefore, these ladder polysilanes were found to be oxidized in a unique manner one of two polysilane main chains was oxidized selectively, and novel ladder compounds consisting of polysiloxane and polysilane chains were formed.
